NGOs' Association demands immediate posting of an exclusive Director in the Education Department



The Non-Gazetted Govt. Officers’ Association, Andaman & Nicobar Islands demanded immediate posting of a Director exclusively for the Education Department. In a letter addressed to the Chief Secretary, Andaman and Nicobar Administration, the General Secretary Shri T.S.Sreekumar expressed concern over the non-posting of a full-time Director for the Department of Education. The Association drew attention of the Administration over the posting of IAS or Senior Danics Officer as Secretary-cum-Director, who are already overburdened with the charges of Secretary (Education) and additional charge of other departments are unable to devote sufficient time to deal with the grievances of teachers and other issues of department. This has created large scale discontentment among teachers and other staff. It is pertinent to mention that the Department of Education has more than 6000 staff members and half a lakh children studying in various schools speard over the length and breadth of A & N Islands and any delay in decision making concerning the issues of Education sector could prove disastrous to the future of these islands.
The Association has requested to post an Officer on full-time basis exclusively as Director in the Education Department at the earliest.
