Tripura Govt planning to enforce new transfer policy for employees: CM Saha
Sepahijala (Tripura) [India], June 26 (ANI): 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. (ANI)

ANI file image DEHRADUN: Uttarakhand chief minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Friday conducted an aerial survey of the under-construction multipurpose JamrDam project in Nainital district and reviewed the ongoing work at the site. Speaking to ANI after the survey, the chief minister thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for reviving the decades-old project that had remained stalled for over 60 years. "First of all, I would like to thank PM Modi on behalf of the people of Uttarakhand that this project was long pending for more than 6 decades now...A lot of time went by, and governments came and went, but the work didn't begin. Under the leadership of PM Modi, the project has been approved. A target of 2029 has been given to complete the project. It is our effort to complete the project on time," CM Dhami said. Earlier in the day, CM Dhami also attended the launch of the book 'The Emergency Diaries: Years that Forged a Leader', where he described it as more than just a book, calling it an "experience that touches the heart."

Was Irans Supreme Leader Khamenei A Target In Recent Conflict? Israeli Defence Minister Katz Reveals…
Israel-Iran Conflict: After days of tensions in the Middle East, as Israel and Iran exchanged several attacks, a ceasefire was reached. Meanwhile, several media reports had earlier claimed that the United States had vetoed the plans to kill Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. On the other hand, Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz has revealed the intentions of his country regarding the assassination. ANI reported, citing Al Jazeera, that Katz said that Israel wanted to assassinate Khamenei during the recent 12-day conflict. Speaking to Israel's Channel 13, he stated on Thursday that his country did not require Washington's permission to carry out the operation. This claim of the Israeli Defence Minister countered the reports of a US veto on assassination plans. He said, "We wanted to eliminate Khamenei, but there was no operational opportunity." As per Al Jazeera, Katz asserted that Israel had a "green light" from Trump to strike Iran again should its nuclear activities resume. "I do not see a situation where Iran will restore the nuclear facilities after the attack," he said. Was Khamenei Aware Of Plan? Al Jazeera also reported that Katz further claimed that Khamenei was aware of the threat and went into deep hiding, cutting communication with commanders who had replaced Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) leaders killed in the initial Israeli strikes. The Iranian Supreme Leader reportedly released video messages during the Israel-Iran conflict, but there has been no confirmation yet that he was cut off from the military commanders. The plan, if executed, would have resulted in a major escalation of the tensions between the two West Asian nations. Iran's Regime Change According to Al Jazeera, Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Donald Trump had earlier hinted that the war could lead to regime change in Iran. Trump had posted on social media that the conflict could "MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN." The remarks came amid reports of damage to Iran's nuclear infrastructure following US strikes on key sites including Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan. Meanwhile, as per ANI, Khamenei on Thursday said that the US had "exaggerated" the extent of the damage. The 12-day war concluded with a US-brokered ceasefire following Iran's retaliatory missile attack on Qatar's Al Udeid Air Base.

Himachal leaps from 21st to 5th rank in School Education Performance index: Education Minister Rohit Thakur
Shimla (Himachal Pradesh) [India], June 27 (ANI): Himachal Pradesh Education Minister Rohit Thakur on Friday hailed the state's remarkable turnaround in school education, declaring that it has reclaimed its position as a leader in educational outcomes. 'It is a matter of great pride for Himachal Pradesh that historically, from the time of Dr YS Parmar, the architect of modern Himachal, we have been known for achievements in education. Back in 1947, the literacy rate was merely 7 per cent, which rose to 83 per cent by 2011,' Thakur told reporters in Shimla. However, he acknowledged that in recent years, Himachal Pradesh had been witnessing a decline in the quality of education. 'The recent surveys conducted during the tenure of the previous government were worrying and disappointing. The National Achievement Survey conducted by the Government of India showed that in 2021, Himachal, once among the top five states, slipped to 21st position, which was a major shock for us,' he said. 'The ASER report also revealed that eighth-grade students were unable even to read or comprehend subjects of the third-grade curriculum. Similarly, in the Performance Grading Index (PGI), the state fell to 18th position, which clearly reflected the deterioration in academic performance,' Thakur said. Thakur said that the Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu-led Congress government, which came to power in December 2022, inherited a crumbling education system along with a broken economy, and it posed a dual challenge. 'I may not be an academician, but I am a hard taskmaster,' he said, adding that strict measures were implemented, and with the cooperation of officials, employees and teachers, the department accepted the challenge head-on. 'ASER Now Ranks Himachal No. 1 in Reading and Learning', he said. 'We took bold steps, and today, these reforms are showing results. The ASER report now places Himachal Pradesh at the top for reading and learning outcomes. We even surpassed Kerala. In the Performance Grading Index, Himachal has climbed back from 21st to 5th position in 2024,' he informed. 'In the recent learning outcome tests, Himachal ranked 2nd in Class 3, 4th in Class 9, and 5th overall nationally. Moving from 21st to 5th is no small feat,' he said. The minister emphasised that the education department had focused on consolidation rather than expansion and had worked efficiently with limited resources. 'We said we would consolidate our department, and within two and a half years, there have been visible achievements. We started the cluster system, brought directorates together, and filled thousands of vacant posts,' he added. Thakur revealed that 3,600 schools and institutions were functioning with just one teacher, which had adversely affected performance. 'We approved 5,800 posts in education, of which around 4,000 have already been recruited. The number of single-teacher schools has now been reduced to half,' he said. 'We also recruited 700 lecturers through the Commission, whereas the previous government managed only 500 appointments in five years,' he noted. 'To implement NEP-related directives and streamline higher education, 119 new principal posts have been filled in 136 colleges, most of which earlier had no principals,' the minister said. 'For the school cadre, no regular promotions of principals have been done since 2017. We have now regularised nearly 1,900 school principals, and the promotion process has begun,' Thakur said. He also assured that PGT and school cadre promotions would be completed within two months and that the introduction of English-medium sections and exposure visits were all part of efforts to raise educational quality. Rohit Thakur also addressed the sensitive issue of school closures and mergers, explaining the rationale behind the decisions. 'Around 450 schools had no students for nearly 12 years. We merged these schools. In some areas, like Lahaul-Spiti, there were eight teachers for just three students. Enrollment is declining, and migration is a factor,' he said. 'Where there is demand, we will deploy more teachers. But we must rationalise resources,' Thakur told ANI. He stated that reforms have now been tied to clear performance outcomes, and the responsibilities of principals, headmasters, directors, and additional directors have been redefined. 'Unless we link reforms with measurable results, they will not deliver. We are now doing exactly that,' Thakur added. (ANI)
