UDHAMPUR, Aug 23: The Jammu Kashmir SSRB Teachers/Masters Association (JKSTMA) held meeting here today under the presidium of State president Rakesh Singh and State general secretary Vivek Gupta to discuss the issues pertaining to Teachers and Masters, particularly the delay of 7th Pay Commission benefits in favor of SSRB recruited Masters and Rehber e Taleem teachers.
Singh said that SSA guidelines envisaged the post of head teachers which is to be filled by some contractual head teacher under the SSA scheme but Jammu and Kashmir Government violating this guidelines of SSA scheme, filled the said posts of Head teachers through DPC of regular teachers, many of whom are SSRB recruited. “Now the State Government is denying the 7th Pay Commission to such promoted SSRB Masters also on the pretext that their salary is drawn from the post of SSA Head Teachers so there is no provision of Seventh Pay Commission for SSA Head Teachers from Central Government,” he rued.
Singh urged the Governor Satya Pal Malik to resolve the issue of these SSRB Masters, adjusted against the SSA post and also of Rehber-e- Taleem teachers by implementing the Seventh Pay Commission in their favor as these are State Government employees and it is the responsibility of the State Government to extend them benefits of 7th Pay Commission from the State budget.
State vice president Ravindar Gupta said that State Government should find amicable solution for the welfare of Rehber e Taleem teachers who are engaged after proper selection procedure at village level and then regularized by Director office after proper mechanism established by Government order number 396.
At the same time, JKSTMA also warned against any move to adjust or draw the salary of Rehber e Taleem teachers against the vacant or would be vacant post of SSRB teachers though Government can utilize the vacant posts of promotion quota of Lab Assistant etc for the said purpose.
State general secretary Vivek Gupta said that State Govt. should revoke SRO 202.
The meet also demanded screening test for promotion; qualification allowance for higher degrees; child care leave for divorced/widowed male employee; transfer mela for general line teachers and creation of Teachers Welfare Fund.
District president Ajay Mathur; Rakesh Sharma and Ttarun Thakur also spoke on the occasion.
