On Tuesday, TMC employees are expected to demonstrate against the central government for allegedly failing to disburse funds to the state for MGNREGA, AWAS Yojana, and other central government initiatives.

The TMC alleged that several attempts were made to thwart the protest by denying permissions and canceling trains and flights that were en route to the nation’s capital. Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader Abhishek Banerjee shared that the permission for the protest at Jantar Mantar was given verbally and written permission was still pending.

Previously, he had asserted, “Section 144 has been imposed in that area (Jantar Mantar).”

Mr. Banerjee was subpoenaed by the ED on October 3, the day the protest was scheduled to take place in Delhi, in relation to the ongoing investigation into the cash-for-school-job scandal.

Susmita Dev, a leader of the Trinamool Congress (TMC) and a member of the Rajya Sabha, criticized the central government for refusing to provide special trains for MGNREGA job cardholders from West Bengal to reach Delhi and declared that they were prepared to fight.

Ahead of the TMC protest in Delhi, party leader Susmita Dev stated, “BJP has effectively declared war on the people of Bengal, who are planning to come to Delhi on October 2 and 3 to protest for their dues from the Union government.” First, the ED was used to subpoena National General Secretary Abhishek Banerjee. Now, because he is determined to travel to Delhi, they have refused to provide Bengalis with special trains to Delhi…The people of Bengal have accepted this challenge by boarding buses and traveling by road, which will take a very long time, but they are prepared for battle.”

Susmita Dev added that a significant number of Bengali public officials had booked flights to Delhi.

She said, “A reputable airline like Vistara, on which 120 people were scheduled to travel to Delhi to join the protest, has now canceled the entire flight on which TMC leaders were to arrive.” It is evident that the BJP recognizes it is unprecedented for Bengalis to travel to Delhi to protest the federal government. They will not let it succeed but you can see on social media that thousands of people are arriving on buses. Under the leadership of Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and General Secretary Abhishek Banerjee, people will reach Delhi regardless.”

Several buses organized by Trinamool Congress (TMC) transported thousands of MGNREGA job cardholders from West Bengal to the national capital.

According to a statement issued by the State Department of Higher Education, all government colleges, government-aided colleges, and government-sponsored colleges will now offer four-year honors programs in lieu of the previous three-year programs. This adjustment will take effect beginning with the 2023-2024 academic year.

“After consulting with various stakeholders and keeping the future of students in mind, the competent authority of the State Government has decided that the four-year UG level program will be implemented in all Government/Government-aided/Government-sponsored Higher Education Institutions beginning with the academic year 2023-2024. Students will be awarded degrees in conformance with the UGC national curriculum and credit framework for UG level programs, according to a West Bengal Government statement.

A committee of experts was formed to examine the NCCF 2023 National Curriculum and Credit Framework’s (NCCF) recommendations prior to their implementation. Based on this, the expert committee proposed the implementation of four-year undergraduate programs.

NCCF 2023 and NEP 2020 both suggest four-year undergraduate programs. However, pursuant to NEP 2020, students have the option to leave their program when necessary. Currently, only St. Xaviers in Bengal has announced a departure option for the third year. State Education Minister Bratya Basu announced that the government would shortly hold a press conference to discuss this implementation and all of its specifics.

Numerous Teacher Associations have reported that while they have been notified of the change in programme duration, they have not been informed of the necessary changes to the curriculum.
Many associations have also expressed their displeasure with this new pattern, which has been implemented just prior to the start of UG admissions in the state, causing teachers and students distress.
