Bhubaneswar: The Odisha SSB Lecturers’ Association has threatened not to cooperate in the annual Plus II examination and evaluation if the state government does not take immediate measures to fulfill their demands within 15 days.
Lecturers of aided degree colleges appointed through the State Selection Board (SSB) Sunday reiterated their demand for revision of grade pay (GP). The lecturers are demanding an increase in their GP from the existing Rs4,600 to Rs5,400. It is pertinent to mention here that the association members have been wearing black badges since September last year to press for their demands.
Association president Sarojakanta Nayak said, “Though we are equal with our government college counterparts in discharging duties, we are placed in a lower pay scale that doesn’t commensurate with our post.”
