BHUBANESWAR: All Odisha Un-aided College Employees Co-ordination Committee on Wednesday decided in a public meeting here at the place of their demonstration to go for hunger strike from the coming Sunday demanding full grant-in-aid for their colleges.
Employees of the 662 un-aided +2 and +3 colleges of the State have started their dharna in front of the Odisha Assembly from December 19 for the fulfillment of their demands.
On that day a meeting was held in the office chamber of the Higher Education Minister on various issues raised by the co-ordination committee. “Three days passed still they have not received any letter from the Commissioner-cum-secretary of Higher Education,” said the Convener of the committee Golak Nayak to The Pioneer.
After a meeting at the dharna place, the committee informed Press persons that the un-aided colleges will be closed from Thursday onwards to express solidarity to their demands. If their 8-point charter demands are not fulfilled, they will go for hunger strike from the coming Sunday. Even they engage their college students in the dharna, informed the committee.
Convener Nayak made it clear unless the Government announces grant-in-aid to the 662 un-aided +2 and +3 colleges, the committee would not leave the dharna place here at the PMG Square.
