President of DUTA, Nandita Narain considers this negligence greater hardship for all teachers currently working in DU. According to her, regardless of being temporary, permanent or ad hoc every teacher has already got a huge burden of responsibilities but no assurance of job duration  and lesser salary makes it more lethargic situation to deal with. She proposes the regularization of ad hoc and temporary teachers within constitutional framework of DoPT roster and other obligations in order to resolve and avoid such situation in future.

However, DUTA is looking forward to seek an affirmative response and action from University administration as soon as possible.
