pay package issue with him. The PGI Faculty Association has three main long-pending demands regarding the pay-scales given to assistant professor, promotional avenues and non-practising allowance given to doctors. It demanded that around 130 assistant professors of the hospital must be given pay-scales at band 4 instead of present band 3.
Mentioning that while other categories of government employees are getting the salary according to revised pay structure recommended by the Sixth Pay Commission, PGI faculty as well as AIIMS are stilling waiting for same. ‘‘In both premium institutes, it has been more than a year. Now our patience is wearing out,’’ said an executive member of the association.
Aditya Aggarwal, general secretary of the association, mentioned that faculty’s promotional avenues should be at least at par with those of the IITs as they perform no less work than the latter and even more in terms of clinical care.
The issue of abolishing ceiling on salary of professors has caused a lot of heart burn as at present a professor’s salary cannot exceed that of cabinet secretary, leading to loss of non-practising allowance (NPA) when former’s salary reaches the upper limit.
