Madhya Pradesh Minister Rejects Rollback of Guest Faculty Process
Guest teachers in Madhya Pradesh are protesting a process called “fall-out.”
This process can replace a guest teacher when a regular teacher is appointed or transferred to the same job.
The protesters have been sitting outside Minister Inder Singh Parmar’s home in Bhopal.
Four representatives met the minister on Wednesday.
They said he told them the process would not be stopped.
The protesters also said he told them they could contest an election against him if they wanted.
The faculty members then stopped Union minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan’s convoy to seek help.
Chouhan reportedly said an announcement made by one chief minister should be fulfilled by the next chief minister.
Higher education minister Inder Singh Parmar said the guest faculty “fall-out” process will not be rolled back.
Guest faculty members have staged a sit-in outside Parmar’s Bhopal residence since Tuesday.
Four representatives met Parmar on Wednesday morning and said he refused to stop the process.
The process displaces a guest faculty member when a regular faculty member is appointed or transferred to the post.
Protesting faculty members stopped Shivraj Singh Chouhan’s convoy and asked him to intervene in their demands.
