Guest lecturers ask for job security

 The members of Government First Grade College Guest Lecturers’ Association staged a protest in front of the deputy commissioner’s office in town on Friday, demanding service security.

Addressing the protesters, Association president Shyam Prasad said that the services of 14,531 guest lecturers should be regularised.

“The government should provide salaries for guest lecturers for 12 months and not nine months of the academic year. The guest lecturers should be paid at least Rs. 25,000 per month. The women guest lecturers should also be given maternity leave for three months. The post of teachers lying vacant in primary and high schools should be filled,” he laid out the demands.
