The Rajasthan Higher Technical Education Quality Improvement Scheme
Earlier, the CM had announced the implementation of the Rajasthan Higher Technical Education Quality Improvement Scheme in the budget 2022-23 and made a provision of Rs 15 crore for it. In the implementation of this announcement, the said proposal has been approved, as per ANI.
Gehlot, while giving away New Year's gifts to the working and retired teachers of Sanskrit colleges, also approved the seventh pay scale for the teachers and revised pension benefits as per the rules. The Sanskrit college teachers have expressed their gratitude to the CM for this decision.
In 2017, the salaries and benefits of teachers working in Sanskrit colleges were stopped. Similarly, retired teachers were also denied pension benefits that year. Because of this, lecturers, professors and principals of Sanskrit colleges who retired after the year 2017 were getting provisional pensions.
