The Delhi government has approved a substantial increase in the salaries of vocational teachers and those working under the Samagra Shiksha Abhiyan, Chief Minister Rekha Gupta announced after Tuesday’s Cabinet meeting.

Sharing details, the Chief Minister said around 1,131 vocational teachers in Delhi, who
provide skill-based training across various disciplines, will now receive Rs 38,100 per
month, up from the earlier Rs 20,000-Rs 23,000 range.

Similarly, salaries of teachers working at 784 centres under the Samagra Shiksha Abhiyan
have been raised from Rs 21,000 to Rs 35,420 per month. These centres focus on
educating out-of-school children and preparing them to re-enter mainstream schooling,
she said.

Chief Minister Gupta said the revised pay now brings Samagra Shiksha teachers at par
with primary and upper primary teachers.
