Now the young and single shikshakarmis of our state will receive more of marriage proposals," said Chief Minister Dr Raman Singh on a lighter note while he was in conversation with Shikshakarmis at Dongargaon on the fourth day of Vikas Yatra Phase-II.
Expressing their gratitude to the Chief Minister for better payscale, Shikshakarmis welcomed Dr Raman Singh by weighing him with the load of sweets (laddu) at Dongargaon. Meanwhil, Chief Minister lightened the atmosphere by saying that now the young and single shikshakarmis of state will receive more marriage proposals and will be able to get married soon.
As earlier, several shikshakarmis had told CM that the insufficient salary makes it difficult for them to make their both ends meet, and that is why they do not receive any marriage proposals.
But now State Government has solved their problem permanently, said Chief Minister in his jolly mood. In his address to the massive gathering, CM said that State Government has guaranteed better pay-scale for more that 1.40 lakh teachers (Panchayat) of State.
The teachers who have rendered services for more than 8 years are entitled to the salary at par with government teachers. To implement this revised pay-scale, State Government will have to bear expenses of Rs300 crores this year and of Rs600 crores next year.
