Delhi University Teachers Protest for Regularisation of Ad Hoc Faculty in Government-Funded Colleges

Teachers from Delhi University's 12 government-funded colleges protested at North Campus, demanding the regularisation of long-serving ad hoc faculty. The Academic for Action and Development Delhi Teachers' Association (AADTA) called for enforcement of the Delhi High Court's Namita Khare judgement, which mandates permanent appointments for such teachers. Protesters highlighted that while DU has ended ad hoc roles elsewhere, many teachers in these colleges remain temporary due to limited sanctioned posts, causing job insecurity.
