AGARTALA, Aug 2 (TIWN): Supreme Court of India in its monitoring of 10323 teachers case asked Tripura Govt what it is doing to end teachers crisis in Tripura. Amid more than thousand TET qualified and B.Ed holders left jobless, Govt told the Supreme Court that there are huge crisis of teachers and B.Ed holders. So Govt of Tripura is sending students outside for B.Ed degrees with loans and also managed special relaxation of B.Ed in teachers recruitment. In November there will be massive recruitment in Tripura with relaxations. SC has expressed huge satisfaction on Govt’s role to end teachers’ crisis as by 2020, the 10323 teachers will lose their jobs. After the hearing, addressing media, Ratanlal Nath said, “10323 teachers case is a long pending case in the court which was filed long back and still under process. Supreme Court terminated the teachers which put them (teachers) in problems. Our Govt is a responsible Govt".

"We found, teachers crisis is a massive problem and as we were responsible Govt we appealed in Supreme Court demanding extension and got upto 2020", said Nath. 

"We told the Court about lack of B.Ed holders and qualified candidates. Supreme Court while extending 10323 teachers’ jobs till 2020 said that the Court will monitor the case time to time what have we (Tripura Govt) done to diminish the teachers crisis. We have told court how we sent our students outside for B.Ed with loans and how we managed special relaxation for job aspirants. In November we will take huge numbers of teachers. Supreme Court is very happy with the Tripura Govt’s actions”, the Minister added. 

He further said, “There was a contempt of court charge against the then Chief Secretary Sanjeev Ranjan and the then Secretary Education Susheel Kumar and one more official. Today court has dismissed the petition saying there is no necessity of contempt of court. In another separate case total 15 teachers (I can’t remember the names, but I am gathering details from Supreme Court) filed a petition in Supreme Court in support of 10323 teachers saying 10323 teachers were not made the party and Supreme Court asked them to withdraw the case and to file in the High Court. So overall there is no case about 10323 against Tripura Govt. It can be said as a massive victory of Tripura Govt”.

However, Ratanlal Nath made it clear that nobody is above the Supreme Court in any case including 10323 teachers.
