Ludhiana: The Guru Angad Dev Veterinary and Animal Sciences University Retired Teachers ’ Association ( Gadvasu RTA ) on Monday held a protest in front of the administrative building for their pending demand of revision of pension. They said while revision of pay scales and pension, including pension benefits, had been implemented in different departments of the Punjab government, including other universities and colleges of the state, but Gadvasu has implemented the revised UGC pay scales and pension few years after the other government universities in Punjab. “The retired teachers of Gadvasu have not received revised pension.
This is gross discrimination,” said RS Sahota , vice president of Gadvasu Retired Teachers’ Association. He further said Gadvasu teachers, who retired between January 1, 2016, and April 1, 2023, have not been paid gratuity, leave encashment, fixed medical allowance as per the revised UGC pay scales. Dr SS Singh, general secretary of the association, said a number of representation had been made to the vice-chancellor and Punjab government, but without any result.
Dr RS Sahota said if the university and the Punjab government did not agree to their demands, the protest would be further intensified by involving teachers and students of the university.
