Anbumani seeks pay hike for guest lecturers from Sept. 1
PMK leader Anbumani Ramadoss has called for a pay increase for guest lecturers in Tamil Nadu, requesting that the monthly ₹5,000 raise announced by the state government be implemented from September 1 instead of November 1. The Higher Education Minister, Viswanathan, had assured the Assembly that the hike would be retroactive from September, but Ramadoss believes the lecturers deserve immediate compensation.
He also urged the government to raise their salaries to ₹50,000 next year, aligning with the University Grants Commission's recommendations. Additionally, Ramadoss demanded that the state fulfill other demands, including provident fund benefits, medical insurance, maternity leave for female lecturers, and a retirement gratuity of ₹25 lakh.
