Dr. Banita Saklani, AIFUCTO&#8217;s National Vice President and HGCTA President, criticized the NEP for undermining the federal structure and diminishing state roles in education.<\/p>\n<p>In Himachal Pradesh, numerous demands from college teachers remain unresolved, notably the suspension of increments for MPhil and PhD programs since 2014. Dr. Saklani emphasized that contract faculty receive only 40% of the UGC pay scale, raising concerns about workforce exploitation.<\/p>\n<p>HGCTA is also advocating for regular teacher recruitment and full staffing for educational and non-teaching positions, along with the implementation of the 8th Finance Commission&#8217;s recommendations. Dr. Saklani expressed strong support for AIFUCTO&#8217;s initiatives and the urgent need for reforms in the education sector.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HGCTA Joins National Movement Against Central Government&#8217;s Anti Education Policies. &nbsp;
