To,
The Hon’ble Chief Minister
Nagaland: Kohima
(Through the Ex-Officio Principal Director, School Education)
Sub: Ultimatum for Implementation of Final Report of Departmental Verification Report (DVC) on the Wrongful/ Bogus appointment of Teachers under the S.I.T findings &
Recommendations thereof, vide Office Memorandum No. CAB-2/2008 (pt) dated 21.03.11 and immediate revocation of Abeyance Order
Sir,
With due respect, the undersigned on behalf of the Aggrieved Teachers Association Nagaland (ATAN) beg to state on the above that the Final Report on the Departmental Verification Committee (DVC) on the bogus/ wrongful appointment of teachers under the S.I.T with findings and recommendations was endorsed by the Department Vide No. DSE/SSA/RMSA-SIT/2011 Dated the 19th March 2011 classified as ‘SECRET’ CABINET MEMORANDUM under the subject: “AGENDA FOR CONSIDERATION OF THE CABINET FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF SCHOOL EDUCATION AND SCERT” and the same was approved by the Cabinet Vide No. CAB-2/2008 (pt) dated Kohima 21st March 2011. From the perusal of the Report, it is clear that the Department Verification Committee has broadly classified the teachers into four categories according to the manner of action proposed to be taken against each which may be summarized as follows:
1. Those whose services are required to be retained
2. Those who should be made to face a suitability test
3. Those to whom should be issued show cause notice
4. Those whose services should be terminated
The Cabinet having given its approval for the Implementation of the recommendations of the Department Verification Committee, what was left for the department to do was to only implement the same in toto, the recommendations of the DVC is for retention of teachers, to retain means to allow the teachers to REMAIN/ CONTINUE in the SAME POST against which they were originally appointed. There is no scope for interpreting the meaning otherwise. However, unfortunately the department has acted contrary to the specific recommendations of the D.V.C and the Cabinet approval thereon and has mindlessly and arbitrarily granted fresh appointments to all the teachers except the teachers whose services were recommended to be terminated, irrespective of the group in which they have been categorized by the DVC, under the SSA and RMSA Schemes, which rightly has resulted in the massive imbroglio leading the Govt. to lose face in the public eye and therefore, compelling it to keep the order issued by the Department in ABEYANCE.
It is an admitted fact that the teachers whose Services are to be retained are holding lien over permanent sanctioned post and there is no order of the Govt. abolishing the said post. Under such circumstances, there was no reason for reappointment of the teachers against the post created under the SSA and RMSA Schemes and had the Department listened to reason and issue orders of retention of the said teachers in consonance with the recommendations of the DVC and the approval of the Cabinet, no public censure would have been invited and the present imbroglio avoided and justice would have been done to the long suffering teachers who had been dragged into the ugly situation for no fault of their own.
Now, again, instead of rectifying the blunder, the Commissioner & Secretary, School Education has submitted a recommendation Vide Cabinet Note No. DSE/ESTT-1/2011 dated 04.08.2011 to the Cabinet wherein at paragraph 6 he has proposed for conducting another round of investigations whereas, victim teachers have already faced three rounds of investigations.
Since, the DVC, having examined in detail the records before them, submitted a reasoned report to the Govt. The Commissioner & Secretary, School Education himself examined the report and having been satisfied, endorsed the same for the consideration of the Cabinet and the Cabinet accepted the same as reasonable and granted approval to it. Therefore, there is no reason to act contrary to the recommendations of DVC and approved in toto by the Cabinet.
The recent issuance of second show cause to the teachers whose cases were found to be genuine by the DVC report casts a shadow of doubt on the intentions of the department to cause further delay and harassment. The entire investigation has been biased and unjust projecting only the helpless teachers as culprits and scot freeing the actual offenders. As per the SIT Report page 28 VPS CRMNL case No. RC-2/2009, of the14 officials arrested and released on bail and another 13 who obtained anticipatory bail only the then Director Shri. Nipuselie was penalized and for the rest no punitive steps were initiated against them, rather they were allowed to enjoy salaries and even promoted.
In view of the above circumstances, the ATAN is compelled to place the following demands before your authority for the justice of the deprived teachers:
1. Revocation of Abeyance Order of the Cabinet and honor C.M.’s assurance to ATAN
2. Annulment of show cause notices of those who have already responded earlier and retained as per D.V.C
3. Implementation of the D.V.C Final report approved by the Cabinet Vide CAB-2/2008 (pt) Dt. 21.03.2011 in our own original posting place and establishment.
In the event of failure to accede to our above demands within ten (10) days from the date of submission, we shall be compelled to resume our hunger strike which was suspended on 14th Sept, 2010.
