Agartala, Aug 11, 2011 : 'The regularization demands of contract teachers of Sarva Siksha Abhiyan (SSA) cannot be fulfilled at present due to state’s financial condition’, said Chief Minister Manik Sarkar.
The SSA teachers met Chief Minister in deputation raising their seven point charter of demands including regularization of service on Wednesday. Sarkar assured the agitated teachers that ‘as long as the Left Front government remains in Tripura, SSA teachers’ services are safe and the state government looks into their demands with compassion’.
He also said, ‘we have no objection to your demands and have full sympathy with you. But financial condition of the state government doesn’t permit us to consider regularizing the SSA contract teachers at this moment’.
