 Hello and welcome to NewsClick. I am Samedha and this is a new episode of the Daily Roundup where we bring you the glimpse of some of the most important stories that we report about at NewsClick. There is no end to the struggle of the Delhi University teachers. In another protest march today, the teachers marched all the way from the Ramleela Meydan to the Parliament Street. The protest march which was organized under the banning of the Delhi University Teachers Association held that they were protesting against the lack of absorption of teachers. During the course of the march, over thousands of teachers were also arrested. The teachers have time and again pointed out that there are systematic attempts being made to clamp down on the university as well as privatize it. Some of the major issues that are concerning the teachers include the contractualization as well as the lack of permanency for the ad hoc teachers. It also includes issues such as the maternity leave for ad hoc teachers. They have been protesting against the policies such as that of the Haifa Fund as well as the tripart agreement. The ad hoc teachers have also been sitting on a hunger strike for the past five days. Today, the 17th of January marks the three years of the institutional murder and the death of Rohit Vemela at the Hyderabad Central University. After facing systematic harassment as well as being targeted because of his caste, Vemela was forced to end his life leaving a big question mark on the Indian higher education system. In an emotional and a thought provoking letter, three years after his death, students' suicides are still rife with public funded universities being systematically attacked by the government. For many Dalit scholars who dream big and want to change their lives, the possibilities are being reduced. Even in 2019, when Dalit scholars enter higher education institutions, they are met with institutional apathy, discrimination, which comes out of a deep-seated understanding of caste. Two lakh midday meal cooks have been on an indefinite strike for the past ten days in Bihar. The cooks have threatened to intensify their agitation following the lack of minimum wages.
