We are witness to the perverse academic restructuring in gradual rolling out of NEP. However, academic restructuring is only one part of NEP.  Restructuring of institutions, governance, funding and the regulatory framework are the major components. These will fundamentally alter the character of institutions and the role and relationship of teachers with the institutions. The Draft UGC Regulations & Guidelines 2025 incorporate the NEP design in a deliberate manner, different from the earlier governmental assaults on promotion and workload.

.That ability has been severely compromised. The DUTA has been reduced to a pocket organisation serving the DU administration and the Union government. It neglects to fight for teachers’ rights and academic integrity. It cannot displease the authorities. It has become a lower-order power centre, not their collective instrument for struggle, gradually making them voiceless and vulnerable.

Teachers in Delhi University are currently threatened by the policy directions of the NEP and its rolling out through various Regulations, Guidelines and SOPs. DUTA’s historic strength lay in its ability to unite teachers for collective struggles at the university and all-India levels through informed critiques of policies that compromise educational quality, public character, and teachers’ service and working conditions, often gaining public support to compel government policy reversals.

That ability has been severely compromised. The DUTA has been reduced to a pocket organisation serving the DU administration and the Union government. It neglects to fight for teachers’ rights and academic integrity. It cannot displease the authorities. It has become a lower-order power centre, not their collective instrument for struggle, gradually making them voiceless and vulnerable. Continue reading
