Manipur College  teachers demand revised pay.

Setting an  ultimatum to implement UGC's revised pay scale in the 28 Government colleges of
Manipur by July 3, the Federation of College Teachers Association has threatened  to take recourse various form agitation from July 5 .


The federation has submitted copies of an ultimatum towards this end to the  Chief Minister and the Education Minister today.

Later addressing a press meet at Manipur Press Club here, convenor of the  federation M Lokendro said that pay scales of Government employees are revised  every 10 years all over the country.

This time too, most of the States have revised pay scales of their employees in  line with the recommendations of the 6th Central Pay Commission. The State Govt  issued a notification regarding implementation of 6th Pay Commission for general  employees on May 5 .


However, college teachers were conspicuously left out from the pay revision,  Lokendro decried.


For the last 37 years, the State Cabinet has been adopting one decision or  another against implementation of UGC schemes and UGC pay scales.

There was no point in adopting any decision by the State Government for UGC pay  scales were provided by the UGC, he asserted.

Recalling that the Finance Dept issued a budget circular on May 11 asking all  departments to furnish budget estimates for 2010-11 by May 31 last, the convenor  disclosed that Higher Education Dept was still unable to submit its budget  estimate as no revised pay structure was available.

The Centre should provide 80 per cent of the additional amount that would be  required for paying UGC's revised pay scale starting from January 1, 2006 till  March 31 this year.

The State Government should produce only 20 per cent.

It would be beneficial to the State Government to take the assured amount of 80  per cent from the Ministry of Human Resource Development so that some crores of  rupees are deposited in the balance account of the State before time lapses.

Since February last year, teachers of the 28 Government colleges of Manipur have  been demanding implementation of the UGC's revised pay scale and extension of service period for teachers to 65 years.

However, there has been no positive response from the Government till date,  Lokendro lamented.

The demand for extension of service period to 65 years of age was not any  whimsical demand.

It was one provision included in the Revised UGC Pay Scale to the College  Teachers and Age of Superannuation as per revised scheme, claimed president of  the federation Dr Kh Manihar.

While the teachers have been restraining themselves from taking recourse to any  intense agitation in the interest of students, the Govt has been paying little  attention to the grievances of teachers.

Dr Manihar also appealed to the Govt to shed its non-responsive attitude towards  teachers.
