The Confederation of University Employees’ Organisations (CUEO) in Kerala has announced it will observe a “Higher Education Protection Week” from October 8th to 15th, 2025, to protest what they describe as disruptive interventions by the Chancellor in the higher education sector. The week-long campaign will also highlight other grievances including inadequate funding for universities, delays in initiating the 12th Pay Revision, outstanding dearness allowance arrears, demands to replace the National Pension System (NPS) with the old statutory pension scheme, and concerns over the central government’s economic policies impacting the state.
CUEO President P.K. Biju is scheduled to inaugurate the campaign at Kerala University on October 8th. The organization plans to conduct programs on university campuses throughout the state to raise awareness of their demands. The Hindu was informed of this campaign through a press release.
