Earlier, in the first hour of the day’s session, during the question hour, Opposition leader Ratan Lal Nath raised questions about the number of teachers engaged under Sarva Shikha Abhijan (SSA) programme and state government’s plan for their regularization.

Replying to the question, School Education Minister Tapan Chakraborty informed the house that the Tripura government was sympathetic to the demands of the SSA teachers of the state.

At present, all the facilities like regular teachers have been provided to the SSA teachers including Dearness allowances (DA) et al, said Chakraborty adding that the regularization of SSA teachers is not under consideration of the state government.

In reply to the opposition leader’s instance of Sikkim and Arunachal Pradesh states on regularization of SSA teachers, Minister said Tripura government would have to create at least 5691 posts of teachers, which is not possible in the ongoing financial crisis of the state government.
