Retd principals wait for pensions
Ahmedabad: 03.03.2021
As many as 15 principals, who retired from grant-in-aid colleges, have made a representation before the state higher education department, asking that their pension benefits be released, as they have been denied the benefit of this for the last year.
These principals have not been granted post-retiral benefits in the form of pensions because a circular issued by the finance department last year made it obligatory for retired teachers of grant-in-aid colleges to establish their continuity in service, in case of changing jobs with different institutions, to be entitled to pension benefits. This was earlier applicable for teachers at government colleges only.
These principals found it difficult to gather proof of service continuation and complained about other government departments not cooperating.
The principals’ association also raised this issue with the government. TNN
