SRCC Teachers Protest Over Leave Denials and Administrative Policy Changes

Teachers at Shri Ram College of Commerce protested after the administration denied Child Care Leave (CCL) requests for four faculty members, citing the college's centenary celebrations as a reason. The staff association argues that CCL is a statutory entitlement and that centenary events should not override employee rights. Faculty also raised concerns about a newly formed Leave Advisory Committee lacking elected teacher representatives and the tightening of medical leave rules requiring certificates even for single-day absences. The administration has not yet responded.
