Salary DSSSB Teacher?

The Arvind Kejriwal-led AAP government has increased the salary of guest teachers employed on contract to Rs 35,000 per month, said the Delhi Guest Teachers’ Association on Wednesday, December 22, 2021. “Earlier, the maximum salary ranged from Rs 14,000 to Rs 16,000,” said Anjana Rathi, a member of the association. 

She added that the state government had in 2017 passed a Bill in the Assembly to make guest teachers 
permanent, but it is still awaiting the Lieutenant Governor’s approval. Claiming that recent teachers’ protests in the national capital were being organized by those who are only interested in politics, Rathi accused politicians from Punjab, such as Congress leader Navjot Singh Sidhu, of flocking to Delhi even as contractual teachers in their own state are on the verge of committing suicide. “It’s clear that politicization has begun,” she said.
