The Bihar government agreed to implementing the UGC pay-scale with retrospective effect from January 1, 2006 for university and college teachers in a bid to mollify them. The teachers had threatened to go an indefinite strike from July 8 to press for the implementation of their 21-point charter of demands including payment of revised UGC pay-scale.
"The salary backlog of university and college teachers would be paid in five instalments," principal secretary cabinet and coordination department Afzal Amanullah told reporters after the cabinet meeting. Amanullah said the non-teaching employees of universities and colleges too would get the benefits of revised sixth pay commission.
