Need for Introspection?

Following the UGC, New Delhi guidelines, the State Government has issued the notification regarding newer pay scales for college and university teachers. Undoubtedly, we are going to get a considerable rise in our salary. At this juncture, we also need to introspect our desired role for uplifting the standard of higher education. Do we really deserve these grades? Are we contributing to the extent, we are supposed to contribute? Let us compare these salaries and job responsibilities with the employees of the private sector companies. It seems that the noble profession is losing its grace. Let us not feel tired before getting retired. Let us try to go beyond the FIVE HOUR STAY mode of our working. Nothing is going to explode in the campus area at 2:15pm. Also..... we should try to realise that the PCCTU is not a voluntary body in the sense... we interpret. Being casual towards students' concern and then labelling our blunders as inadveratnt errors does not make any sense. Oh.... my dear friends the destiny of the nation is being tailored in our classrooms. The grades have been revised but the attitudes are yet to be revised.
