Odisha Government Revises Junior Teachers' Regularisation Order After High Court Stay
The Odisha government issued a revised notification to regularise around 13,000 junior teachers engaged in state-run primary and upper primary schools since the 2023-24 academic year. The teachers will be regularised as assistant teachers with immediate effect, subject to conditions, but their prior service until December 2025 will not count towards seniority or benefits. This follows a High Court stay on an earlier notification and protests by contractual teachers. Regular pay and benefits will apply from January 1, 2026, as per government rules.
