Lucknow: The Sanjay Gandhi Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences (SGPGI) Faculty recently launched a protest demanding their medical allowances to be upgraded according to the seventh pay commission in parity with AIIMS, New Delhi.
The medical faculty of the institute has been miffed ever since the state government came out with a notification, allegedly downgrading their pay status from AIIMS equivalent to now equivalent to the state medical colleges.
According to media reports, a circular was issued by the medical education department on December 7th which implied a pay cut of the SGPGI faculty. It proposed that the allowances and payment given to the SGPGI faculty should be at par of the teaching faculty of the state-run medical colleges undermining the super speciality working of the institute. However, SGPGI members stood against the proposal and are in protest demanding pay parity with AIIMS.
