Mumbai: The pay review committee of the University Grants Commission (UGC) has recommended an over 70 per cent revision in pay and allowances and suggested changes in the service and working conditions of teachers, librarians, directors of physical education and other academic staff in all recognised colleges and universities.
The UGC panel, headed by Prof G K Chadha, also suggested additional allowances and new positions to academics. The committee today submitted its report to the UGC chairman Prof Sukhadeo Thorat. Under the proposed pay scales, at the entry level, a faculty member will join as an assistant professor, not as a lecturer as earlier, and will draw a salary between Rs15,600 and Rs39,100. The teacher at the entry level will be entitled for a grade pay of Rs6,600. At present, a lecturer's pay scale is between Rs8,000 to Rs13,500. For assistant professor, assistant professor (senior scale) and assistant professor (senior grade), the pay scale will be between Rs15,600 and Rs39,100 while the grade pay will vary. A teacher will be entitled for annual increment of three per cent of the basic salary with compounding effect. Teachers with good performance record can get four per cent annual increment. The committee has recommended a new band pay between Rs37,400 and Rs67,000 for professors against the existing scale of Rs16,400 and Rs22,400. ''We have recommended more that 70 per cent hike in the scale of pay for various posts. For certain posts, the proposed hike is more than 90 per cent,'' Chadha said. The hike would benefit more than five lakh teachers in over 400 universities and over 6,000 colleges in the country. | A.
