Appointment letters to JBT teachers to be issued with in 24 hours

CHANDIGARH, APRIL 22
 Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal, today said that appointment letters would be issued to the selected Junior Basic Training (JBT) teachers within 24 hours of receipt of orders of the Punjab and Haryana High Court vacating its stay on their appointment.
        The Chief Minister was addressing the JBT teachers who had called on him to express gratitude to the Haryana Government for presenting a strong case in their favour in the High Court.
        Expressing his heartfelt wishes for bright future of the selected JBT teachers, he said that the State Government would fulfil its promise and the teachers would join service within 24 hours of receipt of court orders. “The thought that these teachers were selected during the tenure of the previous government and therefore should not be recruited, never crossed my mind,” he added.
        Urging the teachers to serve the society by imparting cultural values along with academic knowledge to children for their all-round development, he said that they now had to engender preference for government schools among the people by fostering a congenial atmosphere in these schools. The Haryana Government, with the assistance of private schools, has prepared a scheme to enhance academic and other activities in government schools in the State, he added.
        State President, Patra Adhyapak Sangh, Mr. Rajender Sharma, Ms. Jyoti Bhaitia and other teachers thanked the Chief Minister and Education Minister, Mr. Ram Bilas Sharma, for the strong case presented by the Haryana Government in their favour and assured that the selected teachers would perform their duties dedicatedly.

        This was disclosed by Education Minister, Mr. Ram Bilas Sharma, after a meeting with senior officers of the School Education Department held under his chairmanship here today.
        He said that the Punjab and Haryana had vacated its stay on the appointment of JBT teachers selected during the tenure of the previous State Government.  “Appointment letters will be issued by the Education Department to the selected teachers as per rules next week,” he added.
        Those present in the meeting included Additional Chief Secretary, School Education Department, Mr. P.K. Das, Director, Elementary Education Department, Mrs. Garima Mittal and Additional Director (Admn.), Elementary Education Department, Mr. Virender Kumar Dahiya.

1177 TGTs PROMOTED: The Haryana School Education Department has promoted 1,177 Trained Graduate Teachers (TGTs) working in government schools in the State to the post of Post Graduate Teachers (PGTs).
        While stating this here today, Education Minister, Mr. Ram Bilas Sharma, said that all TGTs who were eligible for promotion on January 1, 2017, have been promoted. Cases for promotion of TGTs had been pending for the last eight years.
        He said that the Education Department was going to carry out recruitment of teachers to meet the requirement in government schools, and pending cases of promotion were being disposed of.
