Chandigarh Teachers Seek MP's Help Over Promotion Benefit Timing Dispute
The Chandigarh Aided College Teachers' Association (CACTA) has appealed to MP Manish Tewari regarding the UT Administration's decision to apply UGC Regulations, 2018, for career advancement scheme (CAS) promotions only from 2022 instead of 2018. CACTA highlighted that Panjab University adopted these regulations in 2018 and processed around 220 pending CAS cases, including 120 for promotions due between 2018 and 2022. The association argues that restricting benefits from 2022 creates an anomaly and requests that eligible teachers receive promotions and financial benefits from their original due dates.
