Abstract

This paper presents a quantitative method for the effect of rising house rent on living standard of public sector college teachers, for this I use questionnaire which contain twenty questions for the survey. From few years I was found that many people specially from public sector college teachers were survive their live and do not have any luxurious life even they are of top officer grade level in public sector, reason which I was ask from these people to fall in their living standard got that they suffer from rising house rent and government do not pay an adequate amount to cover running house rent. They pay almost 35% of their gross income in paying house rent which is an alarming situation for the government because it could not only cause fall in their disposable income but also fall in economics growth.
