CM Manik Saha stresses no govt employee will stay in one location for long under new transfer policy
Tripura Govt planning to enforce new transfer policy for employees: CM Saha
SEPAHIJALA: The Tripura government is working on a comprehensive transfer policy for government employees, ensuring equitable distribution of postings across the state, and provisions will be made to accommodate special cases where necessary, said Chief Minister Manik Saha on Thursday.
He emphasised that no employee will be allowed to remain in the same location for an extended period under any circumstances.
"The current government functions with clarity and transparency in every sector," the Chief Minister added.
Saha made these remarks while inaugurating the newly constructed building of Madhupur Higher Secondary School in Sepahijala district today.
Addressing the gathering, Saha, who also holds the Education portfolio, reiterated the state government's commitment to the holistic development of all regions in Tripura.
"Our Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, has always stressed that true progress comes through development. After independence, several areas remained neglected. Since assuming office in 2014, Prime Minister Modi has worked tirelessly to place India on the path of inclusive growth," he said.
The Chief Minister highlighted the government's focus on extending development to even the remotest corners of the state and nation.
Stating that education is a top priority, he said, "Both the state and central governments have placed special emphasis on improving education. Today, as we inaugurate a new school building in Madhupur, similar infrastructure projects are being developed across the state. Various initiatives are being taken to enhance facilities for students. Teaching methodologies are being improved, and teacher training programs have been launched to improve quality.
Students are like clay dolls - they develop based on the guidance they receive."
Saha also noted the improved performance of students in board examinations such as TBSE and CBSE in recent years.
"However, education is not limited to academics. Character building is equally important. Children must be encouraged to participate in social work and learn about the lives of great personalities. They should be nurtured to become good human beings.
A strong foundation will ensure a bright future," he said.
Distinguished guests at the inauguration included MLA Antara Sarkar Deb, Sepahijala Zilla Sabhadhipati Supriya Das Dutta, Bishalgarh Panchayat Samiti Chairperson Atusi Das, Education Director N.C. Sharma, District Magistrate Siddharth Shiv Jaiswal, Superintendent of Police Bijay Debbarma, and other dignitaries.

Puducherry LG flags drug addiction among 23 per cent of government school students, cites survey
PUDUCHERRY: Lieutenant Governor K Kailashnathan on Thursday said 23% of school students in Puducherry, particularly those in government institutions, are addicted to drugs, citing a recent survey. 'We are in a dangerous situation. A survey shows that 23% of students in Puducherry are involved in drug abuse, especially government school students. Even parents are struggling to address the issue,' he said, speaking at the 'Routhiram Pazhagu – Drug-Free Puducherry' awareness walk organised by Bharathi Foundation. He warned of a strong police crackdown on drug peddlers and urged students to take responsibility for themselves and their peers. 'You must protect yourselves and also guide your friends. You have the ability to build a healthy and prosperous India,' he told them. The walk was organised in connection with International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking and saw participation from hundreds of students, particularly those involved in the National Welfare Project. The event aimed to raise awareness and encourage student involvement in fighting drug abuse. MLA V Ramalingam, Inspector General of Police Sathya Sundaram, Narcotics Control Bureau Additional DGP Deepak Kaushik, and members of the Bharathi Foundation also took part. Later in the evening, the Puducherry Police organised a separate anti-drug awareness rally along Beach Road. The rally, which began at the Gandhi statue, was flagged off by the Lieutenant Governor. Students and officers took a pledge to fight against drug abuse, and a signature campaign was launched. Over 800 students from government and private schools participated. Chief Minister N Rangasamy, Home Minister A Namassivayam, DGP Shalini Singh, Secretary to Government N Kesavan and DIG Sathya Sundaram also took part in the programme.

CBSE's two-exam policy: Schools say it's logistically impractical
Noida: Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has approved a twice-board exams policy from 2026, but most schools in Noida don't see it as a wise move. Principals noted that the two-exam policy will pose a challenge to the academic calendar. The main or first examinations will begin from mid-Feb while the second examination will be held in May. So, teachers will be engaged in evaluations and invigilation from Feb-June, leaving limited time for regular academics, according to principals. "The introduction of two board exams warrants a very honest scrutiny. While the NEP mandates implementing two board exams, starting with Class 10, it poses significant challenges. A recent poll among Delhi and NCR schools revealed unanimous opposition to this proposal. Logistically, it will be daunting for CBSE and all schools to manage, requiring reassessment of academic calendars and feasible solutions. From February to June, teachers will be heavily engaged in evaluations and invigilation, leaving limited time for regular academics. This might compromise the curriculum and desired learning standards for other classes," said Asha Prabhakar, principal at Bal Bharti School in the city. Some principals have said that the move can be beneficial from the students' perspective, but schools will need to put extra effort to complete the syllabus on time.

However, for such a system, schools need to complete their academic syllabus by Dec so students get enough time to revise before Feb," said Supriti Chauhan, principal at DPS GB Nagar. Principals also noted that, with such a system, the number of working days will also be reduced. "I humbly suggest that CBSE reconsiders this proposal, prioritising students' learning standards and a balanced assessment policy. Considering limited number of working days (210), actual instructional days are likely to be reduced to around 180-185 or maybe less," Prabhakar said. Anju Soni, principal of Shiv Nadar School in the city, said that preparing students for two exams poses logistical challenges for schools. "Despite this, the policy can offer significant benefits to the students—it may reduce exam stress, promote deeper learning, and offer them a second chance without losing a year. While issues like higher exam fees and increased workload remain, the policy aligns with NEP 2020 and is expected to benefit students in the long run," Soni said. Meanwhile, principals noted that there still remains confusion regarding the implementation of the policy. The draft policy released in February stated, "After submission of the list of candidates (LOC), no subject will be changed. If any student wishes to change the subject after submission of LOC, this will only be allowed in the 2nd examination. Such students can opt not to appear in that subject during the 1st examination. If they appear in the 1st examination, they will not be permitted to change the subject in the 2nd examination. " The final approved release by the CBSE resonates with the same. It read, "Filling the LOC and appearing in the Main/first examination will be compulsory. LOC for the 2nd examinations will be filled in separately. However, no new names will be added to the LOC of the 2nd examination. Subject change will not be allowed from the first examination to the second examination except as permitted as per policy." Teachers also raised the question that if the LOC is required to be sent prior to the first exam, then it does not seem beneficial, as many students would not know about their performance beforehand and will have to opt for all the subjects. "Though the policy seems beneficial for students, the timeline for application/declaration by students for the second set of exams is still not clear," said Uttra Singh, principal at SRM School, Noida.
