Dharna Planned Demanding Settlement Of Teachers Demands

The Telangana Upadhyaya Sanghala Porata Samithi (TUSPS) is planning to organize a day-long maha dharna on February 29 at Indira Park demanding resolution of various problems confronting the teachers and students.
Announcing this at a press meet at NSS here on Wednesday, the Samithi President A.Ramachandram, General Secretary E. Raghunandan pointed out that the government had completely forgotten about the long pending demands of the teachers though earlier it promised to resolve the same in order to maintain friendly ties with them.
The TUSPS demanded the government to prepare the combined service rules for the posts of MEOs and start the process of promotions immediately. They also suggested the need for setting up a Telangana Vidya (Education) Commission to gather public opinion over KG to PG free education scheme which is being planned to be implemented by the state government from the next academic year.
Up-gradation of language pundit and PET posts, additional HRA for the teachers working in agency areas, two years child care leave for women employees as per PRC 2015 recommendations, were among the demands put forth by TUSPS. (NSS).
