Karnataka raised retirement age of University teachers to 62 years.

Here is a happy news for the teachers of Universities in Karnataka who are in the University Grants Commission (UGC) grade.

The State Government has raised their retirement age from the existing 60 to 62 years.

This is in compliance with the recommendations of the Sixth Pay Commission for University teachers.

Aravind Limbavali, Minister for Higher Education, told a media person yesterday that the provision would be implemented with immediate effect following an order from the Government ED37UNE-2009 C Bangalore, dated 14-10-2009 and would benefit over 1,000 University teaches in the State.

The Universities are facing a shortage of experienced teachers especially in Science and Mathematics subjects. The change would help to retain the existing qualified teachers and also attract best talents into the profession, he said.

The pay scale of University teachers has also been increased with the Cabinet giving a nod but a Government order could not be issued due to the pre-occupation of the Ministers including the Chief Minister with the flood relief work in North Karnataka.

The order would be issued soon with retrospective effect from Jan. 1, 2006 as per the recommendations of the 6th Pay Commission.

The rise would benefit about 11,000 University teachers with the Centre bearing Rs. 800 crore of the burden and Rs. 111 crore by the State Government.

The arrangement sharing the burden would be valid only for a year and later the State Government has to bear it entirely.
