Updated on: Thursday, June 28, 2012

The Himachal Pradesh government approved a new policy to engage teachers and pay them on the basis of classes taken by them to fill vacant posts of teachers in tribal and notified backward areas.

The Post Graduate Teachers (PGT) teaching Plus-one and Plus-two students will be given Rs 150 per period, while the Trained Graduate Teachers (TGT) will get Rs 100 per period for teaching students of Class IX and X.

The maximum amount paid to the PGT and TGT would be Rs 6,000 per month.

The language teachers would be paid Rs 75 per lecture and their maximum monthly payment would be Rs 4,500.

Similarly, the Junior Basic Teachers (JBT), teaching the elementary classes, would get Rs 75 per period, subject to a maximum of Rs 3,500 per month.

The Cabinet also approved the proposal to apply recruitment and promotion rules to the employees of the 95 per cent government funded private educational institutions which were taken over by the government, from the time they became government servants.

It also gave the nod for launch of 'Bal/Balika Suraksha Yojna' to motivate people to adopt orphan and destitute children.

The scheme aims at saving such children from admission into orphanages and encourage participation of families in discharging social responsibilities, besides ensuring emotional back-up to such deprived children.
