Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalaya (KGBV) employees’ agitation here under the banner of the Nikhila Utkal KGBV Employees’ Association entered its 11th day here on Thursday pressing for fulfilment of four-point charter of demands.
The association demands regularisation of job, implementation of salary pay structure, scrapping the retrenchment decision of the employees and reappointing the male employees or else providing rehabilitation to them and providing one-month long summer vacation.
Association president Kaniska Bodhisattwa said that the employees of the 182 KGBVs in the State are working day and night, but they are neglected. About 18,200 inmates of these schools are feeling unsecure and their education is being hampered, he added.
Among others, KGBV association working president Anasuya Samal, VPs Sabita Mohanty, Ajit Mohanty and Santosh Pattnayak, secretary Suprava Mohanty, joint secretary Krushna Mohan Padhi, treasurers Subrat Barik and Haribol Deep are leading the agitation.
