Regularise ReT teachers

Sir,

The Govt has started Rehber-e-Talem scheme in the field of education to achieve 100 percent literacy in the State. I want to draw attention of the concerned authorities that to what extent the Govt is successful in achieving this aim. The Govt has recruited many teachers under this scheme but the majority of them consider their job just as a source of pension and are not sincere to their duty. This is effecting the studies of the students. Now, as far as the Govt aim of bringing 100 percent literacy is concerned. I do not think that this scheme is helping in any way to achieve it. In fact, the teachers working under this scheme are not ready to do justice to their duty because of no justice being provided to them. There is also a well known proverb As you sow, so shall you reap''. Same is the case here. Now, due to this, the level of illiteracy is increasing instead of the decreasing. Then how any body can guess that the literacy aim of 100 percent is being achieved by this scheme? Actually, for all this, the teachers working under this scheme cannot be balmed.

It is therefore requested to the concerned authorities to think once again over this scheme and create permanent posts of teachers as well as regularise the teachers working under this scheme if it really wants to achieve the 100 percent literacy aim and universalisation of education in the country.

Quota for minorities

Sir,

It refers to decision of Union Cabinet to set up Commission to examine quotas for minorities in educational institutions. After verdict of AP High Court to strike down State-Government's order of providing reservation to Muslims, it must be clear that Constitution does not allow any quota on basis of religion. Such decisions of political rulers aimed at eye on Muslim vote-bank are merely publicity-stunt because it is a foregone conclusion that such a step would be censored by courts! Our nation can fast forward to become developed nation if vote-bank politics on present style of reservation may be changed to an ideal policy of having only one type of reserved category providing benefits of reservation only to persons, families with upto two children! Perhaps all major national problems may be automatically solved if such a reservation may be part of inducing family-planning through legislation.

Water crisis

Sir,

The people living beyond the area of Janipur such as Roop Nagar, Durga Nagar, Chinore and Bantalab etc are facing the acute shortage of drinking water. Water is supplied to these areas only twice a month and that too for not more than half an hour, thus compelling the people to use unclear and contaminated water. How come a person can expect any other thing from this Govt where the basic amenities are denied to the citizens. The Govt has completely slept over these issues. The representatives of these areas have been apprising the concerned quarters time and again either through the columns of this esteemed paper or by meeting personally to the officers of these deptts, but alas ! nothing solid has been done so far. The Govt is thus forcing the peace loving people of these areas to take to agitational path.
