Sir,
On 10th October 2017, the Cabinet discussed the appointments at gazetted level mode in the School Education/Higher Education Departments in terms of SRO 202 of 2015 dated 30.06.2015 read with Government Order No.1377-GAD of 2015 dated 15.10. 2015 and decided that full salary along with allowances shall be paid to these appointees in relaxation of rule 9 and 10 of the aforesaid SRO with immediate effect. However, it has been six months since this Cabinet decision but the formal order regarding the same has not been issued hitherto and new appointees are drawing mere the basic salary.
Most of the newly recruited lecturers have been posted in hard zones , far flung regions of the State which lack the basic amenities like proper water supply, power supply, toilets etc. The expenses tend to exceed the earnings. It’s highly unfair to keep them underpaid when all the other gazetted officials enjoy full perks of a gazetted State Government job. Moreover, a teacher with only secondary level qualification not recruited under SRO 202 is drawing 1.5 times the salary of gazetted lecturers. It’s a violation of Article 23(2) Universal Declaration of Human Rights, “Everyone, without any discrimination, has the right to equal pay for equal work”.
Yours etc….
