As many as 15,600 employees in Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan are denied enhanced salaries despite the Central government’s approval for increasing the pay in April.
Hyderabad: As many as 15,600 employees in Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan are denied enhanced salaries despite the Central government’s approval for increasing the pay in April.
According to sources, the Education Department had sent the proposal to implement the enhanced salaries to the employees to the Chief Minister’s Office.
The Centre gave its approval for enhancement of salaries to the employees in Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan, Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalayas and in other Central government-sponsored organisations in April itself.
The State government proposed a salary of Rs 17,600 a month to each employee working in these organisations and Centre had given its approval.
The Centre provides 60 per cent of funds and the State government 40 per cent. The proposals for enhancement had been sent to the Centre and it had given its formal approval to them. The Centre had sanctioned Rs 15,000 salary to each employee during the last academic year.
Speaking to The Hans India, leader of Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan Contract and Outsourced Employees Association Srinivas said that Andhra Pradesh had given 50 per cent hike to their employees.
Delhi government had been giving pay scales on a par with regular employees to SSA and KGBV employees and the Chandigarh government had given Rs 50,000 a month to ‘Inclusive Education Resource Persons.’
The State government issued an order to provide equal pay for equal work and it had enhanced the salaries of the contract employees substantially. The contract and outsourced employees of SSA and KGBVs have been working on a par with the regular employees of government and they have been deprived of the equal pay.
Srinivas said that some other States have been giving benefits like HRA, DA to the employees of Sarva Shikhsa Abhiyan and to KGBVs and State government has not been paying enhanced salaries. The SSA employees have formed a Joint Action Committee demanding equal pay for equal work and decided to bring pressure to bear on the government.
