AGARTALA, Jan 2 (TIWN): Tripura Education Minister Tapan Chakraborty after being asked by SSAs, what's the problem to regularize them when Central Govt is giving 90 % funds for Govt employees salaries, Tapan Chakraborty told them that every month the central govt is not giving 90 % and sometimes it is giving 70 %. On the other side, BJP State President Biplab Deb said that not 90 % but 98 % funds are provided by the Central Govt for Govt employees salaries purpose. On December 24, the SSA Teachers met Tapan Chakraborty led by Bastab Debbarma, the Secretary of SSA Welfare Association after Centre had directed to regularize the SSAs under the State Govt. But Tapan Chakrbaorty except 'Pashe Achi' told nothing more to the SSAs and also said that 90 % fund is not maintained by the central govt.

Recently, Tapan Chakrbaorty in a Madrasa building inauguration programme said clearly today, "The present Govt is unready to listen anything. RMSA, SSA projects are going to be closed. But Tripura has 1200 schools, already suffering from teachers crisis. But anyhow we will run the schools". 

Tapan Chakraborty's statement at Sonamura clearly indicates that SSA Teachers will lose their jobs soon ! But question is when 90 % funds are being sanctioned by Central Govt for employees salaries, who has stopped Tripura Govt to regularize the teachers ? When other state at own expense are regularizing the teachers why Tripura Govt can not even after 90 % funds (98 % in actual) are given by central ?

Most important matter is Central Govt never stopped SSA but asked states to shift SSA teachers under state govt employees before recruiting new SSA teachers. 

In a letter to all the state govts on Nov 15, MHRD Joint Secretary Manish Garg told states, "The Dept has emphasizing to the states during the PAB meeting that the states should fill up the state vacancies first before filling up posts under SSAs. Teachers salaries, equivalent to vacant state cadre posts which was deducted in the past for Odisha Chattishgarh in 2014-2015. Accordingly it has been decided that the salaries of the teachers sanctioned under SSAs to the tune of teacher vacancies in the state sector will be shifted to state and will not be funded under SSAs".  

But Tripura Govt has not regularized them, rather Tapan Chakraborty told SSA teachers 'Pashe Achi'.
