The Tamil Nadu All Government College UGC Qualified Guest Lecturers Association has proposed to seek legal action against the higher education department for contempt of court.
The Madras High Court had ordered the government to pay a salary of ₹50,000 to each guest lecturer, following a petition by the association. On Monday, the higher education department issued a notification saying that shift 1 and shift 2 guest lecturers will be paid a salary of ₹25,000 for the academic year 2024-25.
In response to the association’s RTI queries to the Directorate of Collegiate Education regarding pay hike, the DCE has said that the hike will be based on a policy decision by the government.
