Bhopal, Nov 26:
The state government has demanded Rs 484 crore from the University Grants Commission (UGC) to give UGC pay scale to government college teachers and university teachers of the state. The state government has already issued orders for payment of UGC scale to government college teachers. Orders to this effect for university teachers are yet to be issued.
Higher Education Department of the State Government has sent a demand letter to the UGC. The letter said the state government required Rs 406 crore for giving UGC pay scale to government college teachers and Rs 78 crore for university teachers.
The UGC provides 80 per cent of the expenses for five years for giving UGC pay scale to government college teachers and university teachers. The remaining 20 per cent has to be borne by the state government.
On Wednesday the state government in its reply to the court has expressed its intention to give UGC pay scale to the teachers. After the matter reached the High Court the state government is taking interest on the issue. During the agitation of the teachers Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan was told that Rs 1700 crore would be needed for giving UGC pay scale to the teachers. In the demand letter sent to UGC, only Rs 484 crore was demanded.
