The teachers are engaged in schools for necessary submission of statements throughout the month, pay budget are being released very late and it has increased corruption in the treasuries for the release of the pay as well as arrears. MDM expenditure is not being released in time with the result the teachers become indebted to shopkeepers and thus affects badly in the implementation of the MDM scheme. Schools are suffering because of the DDO’s, thousands files are pending in both the directorates for want of disposal, they stated.
