The Hon’ble Minister of Home Affairs,
Government of India,
North Block,
New Delhi – 110 001.
Sir,
I am to invite your kind attention to this Association’s letter dated 21st February, 2011 addressed to your goodself about the injustice meted out to a section of teaching staff working under the Andaman and Nicobar Administration. The Government of India has upgraded, under part B of the CCS (Revised) Pay Rules, 2008, the scales of pay of teachers of various categories in the pre-revised scales of pay on the recommendations of the Sixth Central Pay Commission (para 3.8.21).
However, I would like to point out that certain categories of teaching staff have been denied the upgraded pay under Part B of the Central Civil Services (Revised Pay) Rules, 2008 by the Andaman and Nicobar Administration. They are Headmasters, Physical Education Teachers, Librarians, Craft Instructors, Lab Assistants, Primary School Resource Teachers, Music/Art Teachers, etc. The above categories of teachers were always considered for any kind of benefits that were extended to the teaching community by the government in the past and this is the first occasion they have been kept out of the purview of upgraded pay.
On becoming Headmasters, the financial upgradation of PSTs and GTTs which they got through ACP/MACP are being sought to be reduced. In this way, the teachers (Primary School Teachers and Graduate Trained Teachers) who are working under these Headmasters are getting higher Grade Pay compared to the Headmasters.
As pointed out by this Association, the upgraded Grade Pay under Part B is allowed to all the above categories of teachers working under the Govt. of NCT of Delhi, Government of Puducherry, Kendriya Vidyalaya schools, Navodaya Vidyalaya Schools, Railway Board Schools, etc. Denial of the upgraded pay under Part B to the teachers working under the Andaman & Nicobar Administration is a sheer discrimination. Our request to the A & N Administration to end this discrimination and allow the teachers working under the A & N Administration also to avail this upgraded Grade Pay did not yield any result. Hundreds of teachers are affected by the inaction on the part of the authorities.

Denial of the upgradced pay to certan category of teachers will demoralize the them which in turn will badly affect the teaching-learning process in the educational institutions.
I would, therefore, once again request you kindly to look into the above matter and issue necessary direction to the A & N Administration to extend the upgraded Grade Pay under Part B of CCS (Revised Pay) Rules, 2008 to the above categories of left-out teachers working under the Andaman and Nicobar Administration as has been done in other UTs and central government schools in order to end the discrimination among the teaching staff of various UTs and to restore confidence among the affected categories of teachers.
