Chandigarh Teachers' Groups Differ on Deputation Quota and Recruitment Issues
In Chandigarh, the Joint Teachers Association (JTA) demands restoration of the Punjab and Haryana deputation quota in schools, implementation of pay benefits for Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan teachers, and a probe into delayed recruitment for 993 teaching posts. Meanwhile, the UT Joint Action Committee of Teachers opposes the deputation quota, advocating for its abolition to benefit local teachers. Both groups also raise concerns about recruitment rules, promotions, and regularisation, reflecting differing views on teacher deployment and administrative processes.
