Sixth Pay Commission: Teachers welcome 70% pay hike by UGC’s Pay Review Committee
New Delhi, Oct 5, 2008: Teaching bodies have welcomed the 70% pay hike as suggested by UGC’s Pay Review Committee. The University Grants Commission (UGC) that had formed a committee to look into the university teachers and staff’s pay had submitted its report two days ago recommending across the board pay hike of approximately 75 percent.
Earlier he teachers were up in arms against the Chaddha Committee as the committee is called for the delay in submitting the report. The teachers say that when everyone was getting pay hikes they were left in lurch due to the delay caused by the inability of the committee to submit its report.
But the actual submission of the report has made teachers more than happy. Many said that they had expected the same pay hike as recommended by Sixth Pay Commission.
Sixth Pay Commission had recommended almost 30 percent pay hike for the Central government employees. The almost 70 percent pay hike makes a professor’s salary at par with that of IAS officers.
In the meantime teachers unions have hailed the committee and its recommendations as very welcome.
Ashok Burman, general secretary of the All India Federation of University and College Teachers Organisation says, “Certain recommendations of the committee are path-breaking like the starting salary of college and university teachers will now be more than those of IAS officers. The Central Government will take full responsibility for the salary of college and university teachers for the first five years”.
The UGC has tried to give new nomenclature to lecturer and readers and that has made a lecturers very happy. Definitely an assistant professor looks better that simply a lecturer.
H.C. Narang a member of the committee says, “Another additional new post is that of professor of eminence. This title may be conferred on not more than 10 per cent of the total strength of professors in a university. This position will be bestowed on someone who has acquired national and international stature. The criteria for choosing them will be tough. In terms of pay package, professors of eminence and Vice-Chancellors will be at par (Rs. 80,000)”.
Profesor Chaddha while talking to reporters on Friday said, “At the college level, the post of Reader will be replaced with associate professor. A new position of senior associate professor has been proposed as a third avenue of promotion for college teachers. We have also asked that posts of professor be sanctioned for direct recruitment in colleges for disciplines that have postgraduate teaching. There should be at least one post of professor in such disciplines”.
Chaddha also said, “Good teachers are must for spread of higher education, which has not reached the population living in remote areas. The tribals, dalits, women are still deprived of it. This situation must be changed if the country has to progress. In 11th five year plan, we have given stress on faculty development,” the Padmashree recipient said. Click here for more

Sixth Central Pay Commission: It’s status, not money: Navy chief
Statesman News Service
NEW DELHI, Oct. 4: A day after the three service chiefs met the external affairs minister, Mr Pranab Mukherjee, who heads a three-member ministerial committee set up by the Prime Minister to look into the anomalies of the Sixth Central Pay Commission (CPC) report, the Navy chief, Admiral Sureesh Mehta, stoked the controversy by saying it was not money, but an issue of command and control relationship between the armed forces’ officers and their civilian counterparts.
“It is about status and equivalence that existed (before the Pay Commission) and the command and control relationship (between the armed forces officers and their civilian counterparts),” Admiral Mehta, who is the chairman of the Chiefs of Staff Committee, said days after the three service chiefs refused to implement the Pay Commission report unless “anomalies” are rectified.
Ironically only yesterday, the Chief of Air Staff, Air Chief Marshal Fali Homi Major, had sought to play down the issue saying that the air warriors had no complaints as such and that they were awaiting the report of the three-member committee headed by Mr Mukherjee to give its report.
There were also reports that the three service chiefs had been pulled up for their “unprecedented defiance” over the Pay Commission report. “The issue here is not about money. It has been overplayed by the media. It is about status and equivalence...”

Sixth Pay Commission: Rates have peaked, says SBI chief
Sixth Pay Commission: Rates have peaked, says SBI chief
Newswire18 / New Delhi October 05, 2008, 0:39 IST
Lending rates in the country appear to have peaked considering the tight liquidity situation and a stable inflation rate, State Bank of India Chairman O P Bhatt said today.
Liquidity is tight and inflation is expected to hover around the current levels, if not come down. Considering these two factors, I think the lending rates set by the Reserve Bank of India have peaked,” Bhatt told reporters on the sidelines of a seminar on north-eastern states.
He, however, said interest rates charged by banks from borrowers may vary depending on various business considerations.
Bhatt expressed hope the liquidity crunch may ease on its own as the government injects funds to pay for pay hikes as per the Sixth Pay Commission recommendations.
“Else the RBI could intervene. They have a number of measures to ease liquidity. We do not know which one of these measures they will employ when the need comes,” he said.
Reacting to suggestions that financial crisis in the West could be an opportunity for Indian banks to expand business there, Bhatt said his bank does not plan a major expansion overseas any time soon.
“Many people are saying so. But a sudden expansion in those markets could be risky,” he said.

Sixth Pay Commission: It's for states to adopt sixth pay panel: Chidambaram
Sixth Pay Commission: It's for states to adopt sixth pay panel: Chidambaram
4 Oct, 2008, 1945 hrs IST, PTI
NEW DELHI: Finance Minister P Chidambaram on Saturday rejected the demand of north-eastern states to share the burden of additional wage bill and sai
d discretion of adopting the recommendations of the Sixth Pay Commission rests with individual states.
"The Sixth Pay Commission is meant for the central government employees. It is for a state to decide whether it wants to adopt or not," he said while responding to demands raised by representatives of north-eastern states that Centre should bear the additional burden of new pay structure for state government employees.
Participating at a special summit on banking and credit issues in the north eastern region, Arunachal Pradesh Finance Minister Kalikho Pul demanded that Centre should foot additional bill towards enhanced wages of the state government employees, as they buy goods from the same market as the Union government employees.
Similarly, Mizoram representative said, "Centre should give cent-per-cent of the liability of the special category states in connection with the Sixth Pay Commission recommendations in the form of separate grant-in-aid."
Responding to such demands, Chidambaram said, "It is true that both central government and state government employees buy in the same market. The private sector also buys in the same market. So do the self-employed people...though their incomes are not the same."
Referring to the Eleventh Finance Commission's recommendations, the minister said, "It is not all that bad. It said that a state must only pay for what it can afford to pay. It shouldn't pay what it cannot afford to pay."
After implementation of the Sixth Pay Commission award, employees in several states have stepped up pressure on their respective state governments for revision of pay.

Sixth Pay Commission: It is about status, equality and not money, says Navy chief
Sixth Pay Commission: It is about status, equality and not money, says Navy chief
New Delhi, Oct 4 (PTI) Amid the raging controversy over the reluctance of the armed forces to implement the Pay Commission's recommendations, Navy chief Admiral Sureesh Mehta today said the issues raised by them were "not about money" but status and equality.
"The issue here is not about money. It has been overplayed by the media. It is about status and equivalence that existed (before the pay commission), and the command and control relationship (between the armed forces officers and their civilian counterparts)," Mehta, who is also the chairman of the chiefs of staff committee, said after Territorial Army Day parade here.
"How it (status, equality, command and control structure) has been disturbed (by the pay commission report), nobody knows," he said when asked about the issues raised during the meeting of the services chiefs with External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee yesterday.
Mukherjee heads a three-member ministerial committee set up by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to look into the grievances of the Army, Navy and Air Force over "anomalies" in the 6th Central Pay Commission (CPC).
"It was a fact-finding mission. We had a long discussion with the minister over the issues," he said.
Welcoming the Cabinet approval to Phase-II of the Ajai Vikram Singh Committee report for creation of 1,896 new posts from Colonels to Lieutenant Generals and their equivalents in the three forces, Mehta said: "We are happy with the implementation. This was an ongoing thing." PTI (http://www.ptinews.com)
