Reclaim DUTA as a site of teachers’ struggles!
Save Teachers, Save Education!
Elect Rajib Ray as DUTA President!
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.
