20% Salary Hike for Gujarat School Teachers

School teachers of Gujarat have a reason to rejoice. Following a high court order, the state education department has extended a Diwali gift to teachers — a 20 per cent salary hike.

Recently, Gujarat high court had ruled in favour of school teachers working on fixed salary and had directed state education department to implement Sixth Pay Commission`s recommendations. The state government had quickly formalised government resolutions (GR) for most departments but that for school teachers was pending. On Monday, the state government issued a GR which will translate into a financial gain of Rs 18,000 to Rs 24,000 for fixed-pay teachers. More than 20,000 school teachers, administrative staff and grade IV employees are likely to gain from this move.

Ramesh Patel, Gujarat State Secondary Teachers’ Federation, general secretary said, “This has been a long-pending demand.” Apart from this, primary teachers with fixed pay of Rs 2,500 will get Rs 4,500. More than 15,000 primary teachers will benefit from this.

Hospital list yet to come, CGHS pensioners may have to wait

Central Government Health Scheme (CGHS) pensioners in the city may have to wait for a while till the government sends an order regarding the number of empanelled hospitals recognised under the scheme. Presently, Deendayal and Kotbagi hospital have agreed to the new rates while Ruby Hall Clinic has categorically refused.

Additional Director of CGHS S R Pashupatimath said that the last date for the shortlisted hospitals to accept the new rates of treatment and sign the memorandum of understanding with the government has been extended till October 29. So far Deendayal and Kotbagi hospitals have agreed to the terms and conditions while three hospitals selected for providing eye treatment – Inlaks and Budhrani hospital, Ameya Netralaya and Jadhav eye foundation have also agreed to the new rates.

It may be recalled that the government had last year invited tenders from hospitals for empanellment. Out of the 17 shortlised just three hospitals in the city were empanelled to provide general treatment to CGHS beneficiaries. This is against the present 27 hospitals which are providing treatment to the patients under the scheme.
