Opinions 80
By crusador

University Grant Commission constitueted the VI

Pay Review Committee to recommend improved pay structure and other allowances and facilities for
teachers in colleges and universities of India. Purpose of this whole exercise was to rope in the talent
to teaching field and retain them in future in the same profession. The committee submitted its report
on October 3, 2008. India is realizing the fact that investment in education sector today will pay
tommorrow. However, top brasses in Indian heirarchy always fail to understand it and do something
that makes mockery of all the visions and future plans.
As per the media reports, the Committee recommended an increase of more than 70 per cent in pay
and allowances for the teachers. However, this increase was not uniform across the board. For
certain posts, the proposed hike was more than 90 per cent and for some less than 30%. The UGC
panel, headed by Prof G K Chadha, submitted report to the UGC chairman Prof Sukhadeo Thorat.
According to the report, a faculty member will join as an assistant professor, not as a lecturer as
earlier. The teacher at the entry level will be entitled for a grade pay of Rs 6,600 and will draw a
salary between Rs15,600 and Rs 39,100 (See the report highlights). A lecturer's pay scale at present
is between Rs 8,000 to Rs13,500. For assistant professor, assistant professor (senior scale) and
assistant professor (senior grade), the pay scale will be between Rs15,600 and Rs 39,100 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 Rs 37,400 and Rs
67,000 for professors against the existing scale of Rs16,400 and Rs 22,400.

UGC Pay Package: Colleges
Newly recruited Assist. professors entering to
education field were given good deal and the
senior faculty serving as Professors got more
than the expected in the report. On the other
hand, the teachers in existing pay package of
10000-15600 (Assist. Professors, SS) and
12000-420-18,300 (Associate
Professors/Readers) were proposed to be
designated as Assist. Professor (SS) and Assist.
Professor (SG) with same pay package
(different grade pay) as the new entrants.
Assist. Professor (SS) were placed in same
scale after serving 4-6 years as Assist.
Professor and will accumulate 4-6 increaments.
Besides this they will have a gain of Rs 600 in
grade pay wheareas a new recruit with five
increaments will get almost same or more pay
than Assist. Professor (SS). Erstwhile Associate
Professors/Readers were proposed to be fixed
in the pay band 15600-39,100 pay band
whereas the UG College Principals of the same
scale were proposed to be fixed in the pay band
of 37,400-67000. UGC Pay Panel favored the
Professors by increasing their grade pay that
should could been fixed to 10,000 as per
corresponding pay band in 6 CPC scheme but
upgraded to 11,000. Special favor was shown to
professor by placing them in PB 4 with a higher
GP than given by 6CPC. Existing scales of
readers and professors do not have
corresponding old scales in 6CPC and is a
merger of two scales. While implementing the
6CPC report the Govt. has upgraded the
existing pay scales ending with 18, 300 to Pay
Band - 4, though 6th Pay Commission has
proposed it to stay in Pay band -3. Why has the
UGC pay panel has proposed teachers drawing
pay in the existing pay scale of Rs 12000-18300
to be fixed in the pay band -3. Although UG
Principals placed in the existing pay scale of Rs
12000-420-18300 has been proposed to be fixed in Pay Band-4 (Rs 37000-67000), why not the
teachers of the same scale have been proposed to be fixed in Pay Band-4?
This showed that PRC failed to do justice with readers /associate professors. .Perhaps none of the

PRC member was aware that most of the teachers promoted to Assoc. Professor/reader promoted to
the scale of 12000-18300 in the year 1998, will be stagnating in the revised pay structuture. the
revised basic Pay of 90% of Assoc. Professors would be nearing end of the proposed pay band i.e
Rs 39100 on July 2008. Hence most of the teachers will reach end of the scale before it get
implemented.

As soon as the report was made public, protests were made by different teachers associations and
memorandum were submitted to UGC. Grievances of suffering teaching communities were highlighted
by this blog. Thousands of teachers made their protests against the injustice. Efforts were made to
find out the solutions and several suggestions were put for voting here. These suggestions and
opinions of teachers were forwarded to UGC and MHRD.
The UGC furnished its recommendations on 10th October, 2008. An Empowered Committee was
constituted on 10th October, 2008 and based on its recommendations, the proposals formulated by
the Ministry were considered by a Committee of Secretaries in its meeting held on 5th December,
2008. Cabinet approved the pay proposals on 15th December, 2008.
As per the information gathered from different sources, UGC recommended PB IV to
readers/associate professors while submitting it to MHRD. The Empowered Committee made certain
modifications in the report.
As per a report published in the "Telegraph", the HRD ministry also has shown its concerns over the
recommendations. Some officials said the finance ministry could object to the over 200 per cent hike
in the salaries of vice-chancellors.“The primary objective of the pay review is to attract young,
talented teachers to the profession. They need to be paid well. High salaries for VCs aren’t required.
Those interested would queue up anyway,” an official said.

PIB release of MOS, MHRD in Lok Sabha revealed that readers/associate professors would be
eligible for PB IV after putting 3 years of service in AGP of Rs 8000. However, its a matter of
suspense whether they will be automatically placed in PB IV or ahve to be assessed for their
suitability.

Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU)
Teachers' Association President, Kamal
Mitra Chenoy said, "Chadha's report would go
down in history as the worst report for
teachers. They have not improved the pay
scales and instead created a new hierarchy,
Chenoy added.
Tabrez Alam Khan, president, JM ITA said:
"There is not a single point which would attract
new talents into this profession. The report has
done great injustice to higher education.''
Avanijesh Awasthi, president, NDTF, said:
"The demand for professorship to teachers of

report has not taken into consideration any of
the demands teacher's made through rough
