Chandigarh, 27 February 2026
Haryana Education Minister Sh. Mahipal Dhanda stated that the State Government is considering preparing a draft “Service Security Bill” for professors working on a contractual basis in state universities. Consultations in this regard are being held with other concerned departments.
Sh. Dhanda was replying to a question raised by two members during the ongoing session of the Haryana Legislative Assembly.
The Education Minister informed that the department had received representations from the Haryana Universities Contractual Teachers Association (HUCTA) and the Haryana Universities Part-Time Teachers Association (HUPTTA). These organizations have demanded the enactment of a law on the lines of the 2024 Service Security Ordinance. The proposal seeks to provide service security to teachers up to the age of 60 years.
Sh. Mahipal Dhanda stated that the State Government has taken the matter seriously and initiated further action. With the approval of the Chief Minister, a committee was constituted, appointing the Vice-Chancellor of Maharshi Dayanand University, Rohtak as Chairman; the Registrar of the same university, the Registrar of Gurugram University, and the Dean Academic Affairs of Kurukshetra University were nominated as members.
He informed that the committee was assigned the responsibility of preparing a detailed report covering all aspects related to service security of the concerned teachers. After receiving the report, the matter was again sent to the Chief Minister for consideration. Subsequently, on July 29, 2025, an important meeting was held under the chairmanship of the Chief Minister’s OSD to deliberate on the issue. After detailed discussions, it was decided that comprehensive data of the entire academic staff working in state universities should be collected in a prescribed format.
The Education Minister further stated that the Directorate of Higher Education issued a letter to all state universities on July 30, 2025, seeking the required information. The data received from the universities was compiled and the complete report was forwarded to the Chief Minister for further action.
Thereafter, the Chief Minister suggested that the recommendations of the committee should also be examined by other concerned departments. Accordingly, on December 9, 2025, suggestions and comments were sought from various departments including the Medical Education and Research Department, AYUSH Department, Youth Empowerment and Entrepreneurship Department, Animal Husbandry and Dairying Department, Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare Department, and the Sports Department, in order to formulate a comprehensive policy.
He added that the required information was not received from all departments within the stipulated time. Therefore, reminders were sent to the concerned departments on January 29, 2026. The government is currently awaiting the necessary inputs from all departments, and once the information is received, the matter will again be placed before the Chief Minister for further decision.
