Haryana Plans New Job Security Law for Guest Faculty in State Universities
The Haryana government plans to introduce the 'Service Security Act 2026' to provide job security to guest faculty in state universities, following the successful 2024 Act for college lecturers. Education Minister Mahipal Dhanda announced that a committee led by Maharshi Dayanand University’s vice-chancellor recommended this move after consultations with teacher associations. The Act will set eligibility criteria including age, service length, and qualifications, aiming to offer stability to contractual assistant professors and part-time lecturers across Haryana universities.
