The University Teachers Association (contract) Telangana Universities (UTACTS) has urged the government to apply the pay revision commission (PRC) to them, as assured 10 months ago by the government.
In a statement here, B. Niranjan, president and A. Parashuram, general secretary of the association said that the PRC enhancement of 46.15% was extended to Junior, Polytechnic, and Degree college contract lecturers from June 2021 but the university contract lecturers were ignored.
The assurance for the increase was given to the contract assistant professors of the universities by the government on several representations but for the last 10 months no action has been taken. The lecturers were losing monetary benefits while their counterparts in junior and degree colleges were drawing the enhanced amount.
