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.
