Punjab computer teachers have announced a satyagraha in Delhi alongside former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal to press for the regularization of their services and the implementation of the 2018 computer teacher policy. The protest is scheduled to take place at Jantar Mantar on March 15, 2025. The teachers, who have been working on a contractual basis for years, are demanding that the Punjab government fulfill its promise to regularize their positions. They also seek the immediate implementation of the 2018 policy, which outlines their salary structure and career progression. The satyagraha is expected to draw hundreds of teachers from across the state, who will join Kejriwal in a peaceful demonstration. The teachers have accused the state government of delaying the regularization process despite multiple assurances. They have also criticized the government for not addressing their long-standing demands, including timely payment of salaries and pension benefits. The protest is part of a larger movement by contractual teachers in Punjab, who have been fighting for job security and better working conditions. Kejriwal, who has been a vocal supporter of the teachers' cause, has promised to raise their demands in the national capital. The satyagraha aims to put pressure on the Punjab government to take immediate action. The teachers have warned of an indefinite strike if their demands are not met by March 31. The protest is expected to garner support from various teacher unions and political parties. The teachers have also appealed to the public to join them in their struggle for justice.
