<![CDATA[This review examines faculty job satisfaction in Indian district and tehsil colleges, revealing significant disparities between these institutions. District colleges offer better infrastructure, salaries, and professional opportunities, resulting in higher faculty satisfaction. Tehsil colleges face challenges including poor facilities, professional isolation, and limited career advancement, leading to lower satisfaction levels.

The review analyzes factors affecting satisfaction including working conditions, administrative support, and work-life balance.

It emphasizes that improving faculty satisfaction is essential for educational quality and equity. The review calls for systemic changes that recognize and support faculty in all institutional contexts, particularly those serving marginalized communities in rural areas.]]>
