Honourable chairman,7th pay comission Assam.
Sir,Its a matter of great sorrow that we are the intermadiate teachers having graduation in different emulgated senior madrassas in Assam are drawing intermadiate scale.Whereas all the intermadiate teachers having graduation of emulgated high schools in Assam are provided graduate scales since 1993.But we are still deprived from this benifit though we are having graduations even pGD also.Therefore we hope that the present pay comission would consider our Demund and provide us graduate scales in next pay revission.
With thanks Yousuf Ali ,A/t Deorail sr madrassa ,Badarpur
