Gratuity stuck despite 2 favourable orders, Ex IIT bombay contract worker commits suicide
Mumbai: On December 27, 2019, Raman Garase, alongside Dadarao Ingale and Tanaji Lad, received a disheartening "retirement letter" from the administration at IIT Bombay. Despite their fitness at 60 years old, the transition to retirement meant forfeiting post-retirement benefits, including gratuity. With over three decades of service, the trio fought for their rights, securing two favorable orders from the labor commission mandating the institute to pay up.
However, as the administration geared up for another appeal, Garase tragically succumbed to hopelessness, taking his own life on May 2. His death shows the plight of 1,800 contractual workers "retired" over the past decade, denied benefits despite years of service.
Garase, Ingale, and Lad had hoped for permanency during their decades-long tenure, promises that remained unfulfilled. The institute's silence on Garase's suicide and refusal to acknowledge his ordeal exacerbates the injustice faced by contractual workers. Their fight, supported by student groups and rights advocates, sheds light on systemic issues within institutions like IIT Bombay.
