JJ School of Art models get a pay hike of ₹200-500 per session after a decade
Hindustan Times Mumbai|December 24, 2024
After a decade-long gap, the Sir JJ University (earlier known as Sir J J School of Art) has implemented a 1.5-fold increase in remuneration for models who pose for students.

MUMBAI: These models, essential for art education, provide clothed, semi-nude and nude sittings in classrooms.

Under the revised pay structure, models posing fully clothed receive ₹600 per sitting, up from the previous ₹400. Semi-nude models earn ₹900, an increase from ₹600, while nude models are paid ₹1,500 per sitting compared to the earlier ₹1,000.

The change happened when Rajnish Kamat, in-charge vice-chancellor of JJ University, visited the institute in September. "It was during this visit that I came to know about the remuneration a particular model received, and I found it was below the minimum wage," he said. "We immediately decided to revise all the remunerations." The pay rise was implemented after the model code of conduct.
