Haryana retired teachers seek action on pending issues

A delegation of the Retired College Principals and Teachers Federation, Haryana (RCPTF), met Director General of Higher Education RS Hooda in Panchkula today to present their charter of demands.

The delegation comprised DR Chaudhary, PR Tyagi, SK Sharma and KV Sharma. They raised key issues affecting retired college principals and teachers, including the timely release of interim budgets for monthly pensions, provision of pensions through the treasury, access to medical facilities and grant of promotion benefits from Associate Professor to Professor for retirees.

Another significant demand was the extension of the 28-year service benefit to those with 20 years of service, aligning them with government college professors.

“We highlighted the need for a streamlined system to address the financial and professional concerns of retired educators. These issues have been pending for a long time and their resolution is critical,” said Chaudhary.

The Director General assured the delegation that their concerns would be addressed promptly. “We are committed to the timely fulfilment and implementation of these demands,” Hooda said.
