The **West Bengal Assembly is holding a special one-day session today, September 10, 2026**, to consider the **West Bengal Universities and Colleges (Administration and Regulation) Amendment Bill, 2026**. The proposed legislation seeks to empower the state government to transfer **teaching and non-teaching employees from one state university to another**. The Bill was cleared by the state Cabinet on September 8 and was introduced in the Assembly by Higher Education Minister **Jagannath Chattopadhyay**. It proposes adding a provision to **Section 14A of the 2017 Act** to enable inter-university transfers when required. ### What does the Bill propose? Under the proposed framework: * Teaching and non-teaching staff could be transferred between state universities. * The government says experienced faculty could be deployed to **newer universities**, including institutions in places such as Jhargram and Cooch Behar. * The **service seniority of transferred employees would remain unchanged**. * Expenses related to the transfer would be borne by the state government. Chief Minister **Suvendu Adhikari** has argued that experienced professors can help newer universities strengthen infrastructure, improve academic practices and develop centres of excellence. ### Teachers raise autonomy concerns The proposal has faced opposition from sections of the university teaching community. Teacher associations, including the **Jadavpur University Teachers' Association (JUTA)**, have raised concerns about university autonomy, existing service conditions and job security. The **Calcutta University Teachers' Association (CUTA)** has also sought consultation with stakeholders before changes affecting university employees are implemented. Questions have been raised over university-specific statutes, research work, laboratories, infrastructure and grants associated with individual faculty members. The Bill therefore represents a significant proposed change in the administration of state universities, with the government stressing **better deployment of academic resources**, while critics remain concerned about **institutional autonomy and employee service conditions**.
