According to him, the increment will apply to the ad hoc school teachers in the Higher Secondary and those teaching Science subject at the secondary, assistant teacher (both the upper primary and lower primary) and teachers who are teaching Hindi subject. “Following this decision, the state government will spend Rs 145 annually for payment of the salaries of the ad hoc schools.

He said that the state government has also been asked to pay higher salaries for headmaster, headmistress and principal since their responsibilities are more.
