Govt. of India accords approval for creation of 150 posts of teachers


The  Non-Gazetted Govt. Officers’ Association, Andaman and Nicobar Islands  appreciates the decision of the  Ministry of Finance, Govt of India to accord  its approval  for  creation of  150 posts of  teachers of different categories under the Education Department of Andaman and Nicobar Islands. The Andaman and Nicobar Administration had approached the Govt. of India for getting its approval for creation of 193 posts of different categories of posts in the Education Department as there was shortage of  teachers in various schools  particularly at outstations consequent upon the upgradation of various schools and opening of new schools during the last ten years. The issue was pending with the Ministry of Finance and Ministry of Human Resource Development during the last   4 – 5 years.  The Non-Gazetted Govt. Officers’ Association was also pursuing this matter with the Govt. of India and A & N Administration.   During his  visit to  Delhi in the second week of  January, 2014, Shri D. Ayyappan, General Secretary of the Association  had personally met  Shri Ratan P. Watal, Secretary (Expenditure) in the Ministry of Finance on 13th January, 2014 and  urged him to accord the approval for  creation of the  193 posts  of teachers  for the Education Department, the proposal  of which was already pending in the Department of Expenditure.   The Secretary (Expdr) had assured Shri D. Ayyappan that a decision will be taken on the matter without any delay.   The Association feels that with the creation of 150 more posts of teachers,   the quality of education in the rural areas of these islands will further improve.  The Association also expresses its gratitude to Shri D.N. Singh, Secretary-cum-Director of Education, A & N Administration who had shown keen interest to pursue this matter with the Govt. of India.
