Tamil Nadu University Teachers Protest Over Unresolved Issues

TIRUCHI, INDIA – December 17, 2025 – The Tamil Nadu Anna University Teachers Association (TANUTA) staged widespread protests today across several Anna University constituent colleges throughout Tamil Nadu. Colleges in Kancheepuram, Arni, Coimbatore, Tindivanam, Panruti, Tiruchi, Thirukkuvalai, and Pattukottai saw demonstrations as teachers sought to bring attention to what they describe as long-pending and unresolved issues impacting the quality of higher education in the state and the well-being of teaching staff.

According to a press release issued by TANUTA, the protests are intended to pressure the State government and university administration to address critical concerns. Key among these are the delayed completion of the absorption process for faculty members, the long-overdue disbursement of Career Advancement Scheme (CAS) benefits that have been pending since 2009, and the non-payment of increments to eligible candidates holding Ph.D., M.E., M.Tech, M.Pharm, and M.Phil degrees.

The association hopes that the demonstrations will prompt swift action to resolve these issues, which they believe are detrimental to both faculty morale and the overall standards of higher education within the Anna University system.
