in Punjab
WSN Network
CHANDIGARH:
Teachers in Punjab’s government and private medical, dental,
ayurvedic colleges and other such institutions can now work up to 65
years. The state government has issued a notification in this
regard, allowing the colleges concerned to re-employ willing
teachers, who retired in 2003 or after, as per the age criteria
fixed by the Medical Council of India (MCI), that is 65 years. The
Centre had suggested such a measure keeping in view the dearth of
faculty, which is, perhaps, a countrywide phenomenon.
