Yes, teachers are definitely among the underpaid lot, especially school teachers. They are the ones who groom people to become worthy citizens and earn till the skies, and ironically they are the ones who do not get paid as much. It has got to do with time bound promotions which teachers get. Teachers do not get monetary increase in the form of incentives for better performances, as blue collared professionals and people in corporate service sector get. It is commendable that organizations like Times of India with its Teach India campaign are doing their precious bit to give recognition to teachers.
