We are pleased to announce that the XXXIV Statutory Conference of AIFUCTO is being organised in Madurai on 21, 22 & 23 February 2026. We extend our cordial invitation to all delegates and teachers from all Affiliated Teachers’ Organisations to this conference.
The conference theme focuses on advancing a higher education system in India that is Democratic, Scientific, Inclusive and predominantly Publicly Funded. This vision aims to promote social justice and national development through a transformative approach. Central to this model is Public Funding, with government investment ensuring affordability and maintaining education as a public good rather than a market commodity.
Inclusivity requires addressing equity gaps and regional disparities while increasing the national Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER), especially among historically marginalized groups such as Women, Other Backward Class (OBC), Minorities, Scheduled Castes (SC) and Scheduled Tribes (ST). A democratic education system fosters critical thinking, rational inquiry, and encourages participatory governance within institutions. Scientific rigor is emphasized by prioritizing quality research, innovation, and nurturing a scientific temper, which will strengthen India's human capital and international reputation. However, achieving this vision faces ongoing challenges such as insufficient funding, persistent faculty shortages, and a pronounced urban-rural divide.
Only original and unpublished work will be published based on themes and sub-themes of the conference.
Text of the paper should not exceed 3,000 words.
Text should be sent in word file with Times New Roman font, Font size 12, Line space 1.5.
The last date for submission of the abstract and paper is 12th January, 2026.
