Bagh Lingampally: The merger of Telangana Progressive Teachers Federation (TPTF), Telangana Teachers Federation (TTF) and Telangana Democratic Teachers Federation (TDTF) was announced here in a programme organised by Vidya Parirakshana Committee at Sundaraiah Vignana Kendram on Sunday.
The General Secretary of Vidya Parirakshana Committee, Professor Hara Gopal, announced the merger of teacher associations. He said that the three associations shared same ideology and had worked earlier under the Andhra Pradesh Teachers Federation (APTF) and the new outfit would henceforth be referred to as Telangana Progressive Teachers' Federation (TPTF).

They demanded that Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao fulfil the promises he made to the teachers, initiate promotions and recruitments for vacant posts, withdraw CPS pension system and revive the old pension scheme and allocate 30 per cent funds to education sector as per the recommendations of Kothari Commission.
Later, the state committee of the new body was formed. K Ramana was elected as president. Other office-bearers are: Y Ashok Kumar, associate president; Maisa Srinivas, general secretary; M Tirupati, additional secretary; B Ramesh, Ravinder, Narayanamma, Tirupati Reddy and Kishan Rao, vice-presidents; P Nagamani, secretary; Nagi Reddy and K Ramachari, members.
