M.A. Sriram Several retired professors of University of Mysore gathered in front of Kuvempu Statue in Manasagangothri on Friday to protest against the inordinate delay by the University authorities in paying their pension arrears and other dues.
The professors, who had superannuated after April 1, 2018, had not been paid their full pensionary benefits. Though the matter had been brought to the University authorities and the government several times since June 2020, nothing has materialised so far, the retired professors said.

Professors of University of Mysore, who have retired after April 1, 2018, have threatened to begin an agitation from Friday seeking release of full pensionary benefits.
In a letter addressed to Vice-Chancellor Hemantha Kumar, the retired professors said they will gather in front of Crawford Hall in Mysuru on Friday and begin their dharna.
“The University is supposed to give DCRG (Death-Cum-Retirement Gratuity) and other benefits immediately on the day of superannuation. But, surprisingly, it is not the case in reality. All of us (particularly for those 45 professors, who superannuated after April 1, 2018 till this day), are given only half of the pensionary benefits; the other half of the amount is due to us from the University”, the letter said.
