At this the chief minister said that his government has already announced minimum wage at Rs25,000 per month, therefore these volunteer teachers would be paid Rs25,000 each per month.
The finance department told the chief minister that by enhancing the salaries of 4,425 teachers from Rs8,000 to Rs25,000 per month would cause a Rs1.327 billion financial implication.
Shah approved the amount and directed the department to move a summary for the purpose.
