17 Rajasthan medical college teachers announce mass leave over pay disparities
Jaipur: Around 700 teachers of 17 government-run medical colleges in Rajasthan have announced to go on mass leave to protest against the state government for not covering the teachers appointed before August 1, 2024, under the Rajasthan Service Rules.
According to Kashmir Media Service, teachers in government medical colleges are appointed by the Rajasthan Medical Education Society (RajMES), an autonomous body of the state government and the society’s service rules are applied to them.
The medical teachers have been advocating for the adoption of Rajasthan Civil Services (Revised Pay) Rules by RajMES, citing discrepancies in the existing rules of the society.
According to a PTI report, Dr Rajendra Yadav, vice president of the RajMES RMCTA welfare society, said the government recently announced in the state budget that the Rajasthan Civil Services Rules will be adopted in the RajMES, which was welcomed by the teachers association. But later the association came to know that it will be applicable on teachers appointed on or after 1st August 2024, Yadav said.
