Government plans to significantly boost starting salaries for teachers and doctors, with new entrants in these professions set to earn Rs. 65,000 and Rs. 94,000 respectively from January 2027. The revision aims to address long-standing concerns over compensation in critical public-sector roles, potentially easing recruitment challenges in education and healthcare. Officials indicate the adjustments reflect efforts to align pay scales with rising living costs and professional demands. The move could also influence private-sector hiring trends in these fields.
