Udaipur: Gehlot government should take immediate Step Raising age up to 65 will give direct financial support to the state budget. Burden of100 corer will be different for the next five years. 

Raising the retirement age of teachers in higher education from 60 to 65 Today is an urgent requirement. t government should take immediate Step on this long pending issue it's genuinely in the benefit of the state this was stated in a letter mailed to CM by CWC Member  Raghuveer Singh Meena

                  In the letter sent, he said In the area of higher education, the government made bold decisions by opening New colleges in rural areas and Tehsil headquarters to benefit Rajasthan students. The state government also open New medical colleges and new universities. So that quality education will be provided to the students of Rajasthan. After getting a higher education, the youth of the Rajasthan should stand on their feet. 

The retirement age of teachers in medical education has already increased to 65 years. government is a sensitive government and committed to providing quality education to the students of the state. &is are also working on the upliftment of Girl education. So many times, Rajasthan governments need much more experienced lecturers in colleges. 

  Education Minister Bhati has also publicly expressed his deep concern over the shortage of teachers in Rajasthan colleges. Bhati admitted to a press conference in December 2019 that there are 6500 approved teachers posts in the state colleges, and only 3500 teachers are serving. So that more 3000 experienced lecturers are short in the colleges of Rajasthan. Also, 125 to 150 teachers are getting retired every year in higher teaching. The posts of newly opened colleges have not yet been included in the positions of these 6500 teachers.

 Meena said that to maintain the state's level of higher education, the Gehlot government should immediately increase the retirement age of teachers in Rajasthan universities and colleges from 60 to 65 years. Its Also recommendation of UGC which is already implanted in more ten states in the country.

Today there is a shortage of qualified and experienced teachers in universities and the way the professors are retiring. There will be a considerable shortage of professors and associate professors in the state universities, which will severely affect the NAC Grading of the state universities. The quality of the research work will also be hampered. Which is the primary need of the state in this situation? Professor Sharma also said that the age of retirement in the college cadre had been included in the condition of the seventh pay scale issued by the UGC.

In a situation that exists today and after July 2020, more than 150 colleges in the state would not be prescriptive because they don’t have principals as per norms. When the state government has made the age of retirement 65 yr in medical education, there should not be any harm in applying it in colleges and state universities. If the state government doesn't increase retirement age 60 to 65, experienced prof and the associate prof will move towards central universities.

Meea had added calculated benefit to the state if the government increase the retirement age of college teachers from 60 to 65. First, they will not be given by the state half of the pay as pension per month up to five yr.  second on the retirement college teacher will get 20 lakh as gratuity, 20 lakh as leave encashment, 30 lakh as commutation of pension thus a total of Rs 70 lakh comes with this. The third amount of state insurance and GPF,  If it is added then the amount of one core is to be paid by the state govt to each teacher on retirement which will be deferred up to five yr. at this moment when state government facing severe financial crises it will shift the immediate burden of the state.  In the next five years, more than 825 college teachers will retire from determent, which will make the financial burden of 813 corer rs on state government. If the retirement age of college teachers is raised to 65 years, then the immediate financial burden on the state government deferred..

 He further adds today's corona epidemic, where the financial situation of the state government is terrible, the employees are not being given DA, their salary is being deducted. The government can carry forward its 815 crore load for five years. Arey said that if a teacher retires, then he will have to pay 50% of the amount every month as a pension as well that will also be deferred. The state government reduced the burden for the next five years if the government's retirement age of colleges teaches 65 years. At the same time, the level of quality education in the state can also be maintained by increasing the retirement age to 65 years.

  After the arrival of the corona epidemic, in the colleges of the state, between 80 and 120 students are compelled to sit and take education in each class. It will not be possible for a teacher to teach a lesson more students sitting together in the next time.  After this epidemic of the Corona, it will not be possible to seat more than 30 to 40 students in classrooms. 

In the coming years in colleges, more classes will be required for the students. In such a situation, a scarcity of teachers in colleges will take away students from higher education, which will be a harmful condition for state government.

The education in remote areas of Rajasthan is not going to provide any extraordinary relief in today's condition. The state government is facing problems with the net-based national distribution system and Jan Dhan schemes.  Results of e based system in remote areas of the state is not very pleasant.

It may recall (Madhya Pradesh, West Bengal, Chhattisgarh have increased the retirement age up to 65 in their respective state.

 Likewise, the retirement age of teachers in higher education in the state of Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh has increased from 60 to 62 years.)
