Lo!r Salaries to Staff The current rate of salary for the senior te€chers of the Margi Schools is of the order of Rs.700/- permensum and ior junior teachers Rs.l00l- per rrrensum- perhaps the ]o$est salary level anyNbere. It is indeed unfortunate that GoverDment have not enhanced tbese very lo$ salary to reasonable levels, Varying degrees of relief have been Sranted to all salaried sections - but the salaries of teachers of Margi remains unchanSed; not ililhstanding the fact tbat there is specific plan provision for thi6 object and tbe same has not been utili6ed for the just and proper object for $hich it was oade.
