Odisha Govt Hikes Grade Pay Of Primary School Teachers

Bhubaneswar: The Odisha government on Thursday increased the grade pay of primary school teachers.

The move will benefit around 72,563 primary teachers across the state.

“The government has fulfilled our longstanding demands, including restructuring of cadres, grade pay hike to Rs 2, 800 and promotion. Following this, we have decided to withdraw our ongoing strike,” said Odisha Primary Teachers’ Association president Rajesh Mohanty.

“The Chief Minister has accepted the demands of the teachers. After cadre restructuring, the teachers will be promoted in three categories-Level-2, Level-4 and Level-5,” School and Mass Education secretary Pradipta Mohapatra said.

The teachers had been on strike in the Odisha capital since September this year.
