The All University Teachers' Association (AUTA) Himachal Pradesh has demanded that the 7th pay scale should be implemented immediately in the state. During a virtual meeting of AUTA, the association demanded to implement the pay scales for the college and university teachers as per the recommendations made by the UGC pay commission.
In a statement issued to the press, association’s executive member Prof Kulbhushan Chandel and member secretary Joginder Saklani said the Himachal Pradesh government has released the pay scales to the state employees which is a welcome step but at the same time, the UGC scales have not been implemented by the government.
Prof Chandel said there was resentment among the teachers and the government should take immediate decision in this regard. The association also formulated a joint front of all the teachers to take up their demand effectively with the government. We will launch a stir if our demands are not met, the association said.
Earlier, Teachers of Panjab University (PU) and colleges in Chandigarh also held a protest over the non-implementation of the revised UGC pay scales by the Punjab government as per the Seventh Pay Commission recommendations . Panjab University Teachers Association (PUTA) staged a protest at the varsity gate to press for the demand.

On the other hand, the second is on the decision of the Punjab government delinking UGC pay scales, from the state’s institutions of higher learning.
