TURA, Nov 17: Retired teachers from the plains of Garo Hills under the aegis of the Greater Phulbari Area Deficit School Retired Teachers and Employees Association (GPADSRTEA) have urged the Director of School Education and Literacy (DSEL) to enhance the Death-cum-Retirement Gratuity (DCRG) of teachers and other employees of all deficit schools in the state with effect from January 1, 2007.
According to the association, all pay commissioners as per reports had revised and enhanced the pay scale, other allowances including DCRG of the teachers. In this regard a letter was issued from the Under Secretary, Education department for working out the financial implication of enhancement of DCRG deficit to the existing as well as retired teachers in the state with effect from January 1, 2007.
The association added that another letter dated February 21, 2019, was issued to the DSEO as well as all heads to submit particulars of gratuity drawn by them for enhancement of their DCRG with effect from January 1, 2007. However, despite the letters, no proper action is said to have been taken towards the same till date.
“We are not getting pension benefits and facing a lot of problems in our old age. Most of the retired employees are facing untold misery and some cannot even afford medical treatment for want of money leading to loss of lives,” General Secretary of the association, A Hoque, said.
