Anbumani seeks pay hike for guest lecturers from Sept. 1

PMK president Anbumani Ramadoss on Sunday demanded that the monthly hike of ₹5,000 announced by the State government for guest lecturers, which would increase their salary from ₹30,000 to ₹35,000, be provided from September 1 instead of November 1.

“Higher Education Minister Viswanathan assured [the Assembly] that the salary hike would be implemented retrospectively from September. It is unjustifiable that guest lecturers are being let down despite this assurance. At a time when guest lecturers are being paid very low salaries, delaying even this modest hike is an injustice to them,” he said.

He also urged the government to increase their salary to ₹50,000 next year, in keeping with the recommendations of the University Grants Commission. “The Tamil Nadu government must also promptly fulfil all their other demands, including PF benefits, medical insurance, maternity leave for women guest lecturers, and a gratuity of ₹25 lakh upon retirement,” he said.
