Chief Minister N. Biren appealed to the teachers to call off the ongoing agitation but the Federation of Government College Teachers Association rejected it. The teachers in Manipur plan to go on “mass casual leave” on Friday and Saturday (February 12 and 13) if they are not paid the enhanced payscale as recommended by the 7th University Grants Commission Pay and Regulations, 2018, according to the Federation of Government College Teachers Association (FEGOTA).

With
colleges resuming in a full-fledged manner, there is confusion among faculty members about how to complete the syllabus as the
government has permitted to hire only half of the
guest faculty this time. As per the latest order issued by the Collegiate Education Department, colleges are permitted to retain only 50 per cent of the guest faculty till March 2021. Till the previous academic year, around 14,480 guest faculty were working in the state. However, as per the latest order, only 50 per cent of such faculty can be considered based on seniority. Of the 425 government colleges in the state, 7,093 can be appointed as of now which would render half of the guest faculty without jobs.
