In a statement, state coordinator of the committee, Dr. Dharmateja said until regularization, the government should implement the UGC 7th pay scale with basic, DA and HRA for the contract assistant professors. He also wanted the government to recognise their services and provide them with job security.

In the coming days, about 500 universities’ contract teaching staff would submit mass appeal in the Praja Bhavan besides holding a large-scale protest at Indira Park if the government fails to resolve their issue, he added.
