The AMSSASTA said that the last salary increase occurred in 2016-17, with current salaries ranging from Rs 9,200 to Rs 19,044 for Lower Primary (LP) teachers.

After allegedly failing to get a positive response from the state government, the All Meghalaya SSA School Teachers’ Association (AMSSASTA) has sought Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s intervention on their demand for enhancement of salaries.

In a letter addressed to the Prime Minister, the AMSSASTA sought his intervention to enhance the salaries of over 13,000 SSA teachers in the state.

The association highlighted that the last salary increase occurred in 2016-17, with current salaries ranging from Rs 9,200 to Rs 19,044 for Lower Primary (LP) teachers and Rs 9,900 to Rs 20,493 for Upper Primary (UP) teachers.

The AMSSASTA expressed disappointment over the lack of positive response from the state government regarding their demands.
