The Issue

I am reaching out because the lack of regular salary payments for teachers in institutions governed by the National Commission for Indian System of Medicine (NCISM) has left educators like me in a precarious situation. When I decided to dedicate my career to teaching Ayurveda and other traditional Indian medicine systems, I was driven by a passion for preserving our rich heritage and passing it on to future generations. But passion alone does not pay bills, and it's disheartening when the salary, which is a basic necessity, is delayed or inconsistent.

The irregularity in salary payments not only affects teachers financially but also dampens our morale and affects our teaching quality. According to NCISM norms, institutions are required to ensure timely payments to their teaching staff. Unfortunately, this is not being realized in many institutions, putting teachers under undue stress. We are dedicating our lives to educating students in the traditional medicine system, and all we ask in return is a stable financial assurance, which is a fundamental right of all professionals.

Statistically, a significant percentage of teachers in our field report delays in salary payments. This problem isn't isolated; it's a pervasive issue that needs urgent attention. Ensuring regular payment according to NCISM norms will not only enhance job satisfaction but will also uplift the entire educational environment.

The solution is simple and attainable: NCISM must enforce its guidelines more strictly and hold institutions accountable for any discrepancies in salary payments. There should be a standardized monitoring and reporting system within the NCISM framework to ensure compliance. Moreover, establishing a grievance redressal mechanism will allow teachers to voice their concerns and receive timely assistance.

By signing this petition, you are advocating for fair working conditions for teachers in the traditional medicine field. Your support can help bring about the necessary change to ensure that educators receive the respect and remuneration they deserve. Let's work together to uphold the standards meant to preserve our cultural legacy by ensuring those dedicated to its propagation are treated fairly. Sign this petition to urge NCISM and relevant authorities to take immediate action.
