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.
