Guv should personally take cognizance of malfunctioning of Edu sector: Harsh 2/20/2015 11:23:04 PM Jammu, Feb 20: Expressing grave concern over the malfunctioning of the Education Department in Jammu and Kashmir, Harsh Dev Singh JKNPP chairman has lambasted the state government for alleged chaos, red tape, anarchy and mis- governance in the said department. According to press release, alleging total breakdown of education set up in the state during the last few years, he said that the educational activity had become the major causality of bureaucratic red tape and highly whimsical policies of the state govt. resulting in collapse of state as well as centrally sponsored schemes in education sector. He was addressing a delegation of teachers who had called him and requested him to project their concerns before the higher authorities including the Governor. Lambasting the administrative machinery for its earlier decision of making the attachments and deployments of thousands of teachers on political and other extraneous considerations, Harsh Dev Singh expressed concern over the biased approach of concerned authorities in the implementation of the recent government order on detachments. He said that while the influential ones had managed to remain attached with some getting postings of their choice, those having no access to the authorities at the helm were detached. He regretted the highly whimsical and arbitrary approach of concerned authorities in dealing with attachments which had created a lot of furors and resentment amongst the teaching fraternity leading to large scale unrest, protests and demonstrations. He further regretted the non release of select lists of RETs who had applied for various recurring vacancies during the last 2-3 years. He further condemned the non-release of salaries of teachers, masters and RETs who have been deprived of the same for periods ranging from 6 months to one year. Harsh Dev Singh decried in particular the total failure of the govt. to effectively implement RMSA (Rashtriya Madhamik Shiksha Abhiyan) in the state which was launched all over the country in 2008. Singh further said that GOI had sanctioned model schools under RMSA for every educationally backward block of the state about four years back and Rs. 3 crores approximately as unit cost were earmarked for infrastructure development of each such institution. He said not even a single school had been so developed despite a lapse of four years and not a single penny out of hundreds of crores so sanctioned for development of Model Schools utilized under the scheme till date.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
