Dimapur, Sep 6 (EMN): All Nagaland Government College Teachers’ Association (ANGCTA) successfully boycotted this year’s Teacher’s Day celebration by abstaining participation from any Teacher’s Day programmes in the State. To mark the boycott, teachers from all the government colleges put on black badges throughout the day.
This year, university and college teachers all over India led by All India Federation of University and College Teachers’ Organisation (AIFUCTO) and Federation of Central University Teachers’ Association (FEDCUTA) decided to boycott the celebration by courting arrest in order to protest against the adamant attitude of the central government towards, among others, the demands of the teachers for immediate release of 7th RoP and its uniform implementation throughout the country. Thousands of teachers gathered in Jantar Mantar, New Delhi, and courted arrest on Teacher’s Day.
Though normal classes were not disrupted in Nagaland, the Association president Dr. Imtiwati Jamir and the general secretary Dr. Phyobenthung stated that ANGCTA as an affiliate of AIFUCTO decided to boycott the celebration in solidarity with the AIFUCTO and FEDCUTA.
