Government tirelessly working to fill up vacant posts: Tripura CM
CM Saha said this while addressing an event- distribution of offers of appointment under Education (School) and Health and Family Welfare departments at Muktadhara Auditorium today.
'222 appointment letters were given. We have appointed them through transparency and in the coming days also we will do this. Due to their hard work, they made success. After joining the work, they must give concentration on state and central government schemes and how to implement them so that people would be benefited. We must work for the people,' he said.
CM Saha, who is also the Education and Health Minister of the state, said that so far 19,484 jobs were provided, including die-in-harness.
'If anyone gets a job, this is a happy moment for a family. We can understand how a job or employment is necessary for a family. The present state government is working to fill up the vacancy. We must listen to public grievances and have to solve them. We are also trying to create new employment opportunities. Over 5,700 jobs have been given through outsourcing. In the 2024-25 financial year, under National Career Service, around 305 persons got jobs,' he said.
Saha also said that the unemployment rate has significantly declined, from 10 per cent in 2018-2019 to 1.7 per cent in the 2023-24 financial year.
'This signifies we are on the right track and we are fulfilling the promises of providing employment. PM Modi has always said government servants need proper training and you, the newly recruited, will also undergo training for capacity building. In 2022, PM Modi declared Viksit Bharat by 2047. Tripura is the only state where the E-office started from the Cabinet to the Panchayat level in a very short time. Now all files are being digitised, and for that, it will be maintained properly and can be stored in a proper way,' said Saha.
He said that the government has done many more things for Education, starting from the implementation of the National Education Policy, the NCERT curriculum was started, Super 30 was introduced for the betterment of education and students.
'We have decided to open coaching centres in every sub-division on science and English. Some bindings are there. More new general degree colleges are being opened, competitive exam centres are also being opened,' he added.

26% staff crunch affects Kendriya Vidyalayas in Karnataka
Hubballi: Karnataka has 53 Kendriya Vidyalayas (KVs) run by the Union govt. According to an RTI reply, there is a 26% shortage of teachers at KVs in the Bengaluru region, which includes all districts of the state. Some schools are functioning without a full-fledged principal, and some are left understaffed. The parents who are mainly from union govt departments, including the defence and paramilitary personnel, the state govt, and civilians, are worried about the shortage. In an RTI reply, a copy of which is available with the TOI, Hema K, assistant commissioner, Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan (KVS), Bengaluru Region, stated that there are 1,981 sanctioned posts, but 524 of them are vacant. Umapati Bandakeri, secretary of KV Alumni Association, Hubballi-Dharwad, told TOI that the shortage of teachers is hampering the academic curriculum of KVs across the state. "Though they appoint local teachers on a contract basis, they can't be engaged in departmental training and other activities like permanent teachers. Another issue is that, as question papers for the written test are in English and Hindi only, South Indian teachers are not getting recruited. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Plastic Surgeon Reveals The 1 Thing Every Woman Should Be Using Instead Of Moisturiser New Skin Discovery Undo If they are recruited, they are not moving to north India due to trouble in speaking Hindi. Hence, KVs should hold region-wise written tests for the recruitment of teachers and provide question papers in regional languages. On the other hand, north Indian teachers, who get posted in south Indian states, will be going back to north India within a year or two using their political influence, even though there is a norm of not transferring a teacher within five years of posting," he elaborated. He also noted that earlier, it was mandatory to have a substitute, like local contractual teachers, to relieve any transferred teacher. "Nowadays, this mandate is removed, and north Indian teachers are being relieved at any time from Karnataka or any other state without the arrangement of substitutes," he added. Prakash, who worked as a contractual teacher at a KV in Bengaluru, said that he was mercilessly terminated when a permanent teacher joined. "I suffered without a job for the remaining academic year, as I was terminated in the middle of the year. Since then, I have stopped joining KV," he added. Shaik Tajuddin, deputy commissioner of KVS Regional Office, Bengaluru, was unavailable for comment. Is the RTI reply genuine? Bandakeri suspected that the number of vacant posts given in the RTI reply is either outdated or not genuine. "According to these statistics, each KV in the state faces an average shortage of 10 teachers. However, KV No. 1 Hubballi is facing a shortage of 29 staff against a sanctioned number of 46. While 21 posts are vacant in KV No. 2 Hubballi, against 51 sanctioned posts, KV Dharwad has 21 vacant posts against 55 sanctioned posts. Hence, they might have given a reduced number of vacant posts," he added. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).
