The UP government on Friday approved revised payscales for state university teachers/librarians and their counterparts working in government and government-aided PG/degree colleges in the state with retrospective effect from January 1, 2006.
Around 18,000 teachers and librarians stand to gain by the decision in 12 state universities and nearly 500 government and government-aided PG/degree colleges. The issue was pending since long for state government's consideration. Earlier, the teachers had launched joint agitation over the issue resulting in delay in the university examinations this year.
These new pay-scales will be given in accordance to the recommendations of the Chadda Commission set up at the behest of the University Grants' Commission. In a way, it is comparable to that of the Sixth Pay Commission set up by the Centre for its employees and the recommendations of which were subsequently accepted by the state government.
