CM Yogi Adityanath: UP Raises Gratuity Limit to ₹25 Lakh for Aided School Staff
According to officials, the revised gratuity limit will benefit lakhs of teaching and non-teaching staff working in more than 4,500 aided secondary schools across the state. The increase is expected to provide stronger financial support after retirement. It will also reduce financial stress for families dependent on these employees.
Officials added that better service conditions often lead to improved performance
The government emphasised that this step is not only about financial assistance. It is also about honouring the service and dedication of teachers and staff. With higher gratuity benefits, employees will feel more secure about their future. This will help in improving morale and motivation among the workforce.
Officials added that better service conditions often lead to improved performance. When teachers feel secure and respected, they are more likely to contribute effectively in classrooms. This ultimately benefits students and strengthens the overall quality of education.
The move is also expected to create a sense of trust between employees and the government. It reflects a long-term vision of building a supportive and stable education ecosystem. The government is focusing on both present needs and future security of its workforce.
Authorities further stated that such welfare measures will continue in the coming years. More steps may be taken to improve salaries, pensions and working conditions. The aim is clear. To ensure that every teacher and employee gets respect, security and a stable future after years of service.
The state government reiterated its commitment to inclusive growth. It said that strengthening the education sector starts with supporting those who serve it.
