As the nation celebrates Teacher’s Day as a mark of respect and gratitude to them, nearly 4,000 faculty members of the prestigious IITs have threatened to go on an indefinite strike for improved pay structure.
Members of the IIT Faculty Federation will meet in Delhi tomorrow to take a final call on the issue, Devang Khakhar, Director, IIT-Bombay, told PTI.
Around 450 faculty members of IIT-B joined the nationwide relay fast this morning demanding better salaries and allowances as part of the nationwide stir by the faculty members of the renowned institutes.
Ten days ago, the faculty of the elite technology institutes had taken a mass casual leave.
Faculty members attended classes wearing black badges in protest, seeking prompt consideration of their demand by the Union HRD Minister.
