Samant also interacted with teachers’ outfits that have been protesting seeking recruitment in universities. He informed that the state government had decided to fill 4,074 posts, and the process for 1,600 had already been completed. The ongoing pandemic situation and devastating second wave of the contagious virus resulted in the delay in the process for the remaining. Talking about the same, Samant informed that the file has been processed, and following approval by Deputy Chief Minister and Finance Minister Ajit Pawar, a government resolution would be issued soon.
He said the process to fill 700-750 more vacant posts had also begun, while a survey will be undertaken to identify vacant teaching posts as on 2020. “The remuneration per hour for teachers on a clock hour basis in undergraduate programmes has been increased from Rs 500 to Rs 615 and from Rs 150 to Rs 250 for practical. For postgraduate courses (PG), it has been increased to Rs 750 from Rs 600, while it would be Rs 300 in place of Rs 250 for those conducting practical exams. The government will also fill up 121 vacant librarian posts soon,” Samant said.
