In celebration of Teacher’s Day, Bhagwant Mann announced today that the government will implement the UGC pay scales in the state’s colleges and universities as of October 1.
According to the CM, the implementation of the UGC’s Seventh Pay Commission has long been a demand of teachers.
The son of a teacher, Mann struck an emotional chord with teachers by saying he was well-aware of their struggles. Hopefully, this decision will provide major relief to college and university teachers.
In order to provide quality higher education to students, the government has also decided to recruit guest faculty in colleges in order to overcome the teacher shortage. In order to achieve this noble mission, no stone would be left unturned by the state government in providing excellent higher education for the students. In addition, Mann announced that the honoraria for guest faculty teachers would be increased. A pay hike of Rs 35,000-Rs 48,000 will be given to 857 guest faculty lecturers, according to information.
According to the CM, Teacher’s Day is important to him since his father was a teacher. By providing vital guidance to students, teachers play a crucial role in shaping their destiny after their parents. “Teachers are often referred to as the “Architects of the Nation” due to the prominent role they play in educating our children.”
