Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar: Teachers Seek Waiver Of Headquarters Residence Rule, Meet MP Sandipan Bhumre
Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar: Teachers across the district are gripped by fear following the mandatory requirement for rural teachers to reside at their assigned headquarters, a policy that led to unilateral punitive action against 1,086 teachers in Gangapur and Khultabad talukas alone.
Teachers in the Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar district are facing concerns due to a mandatory rule that requires rural teachers to live at their assigned headquarters. This policy has resulted in disciplinary action against 1,086 teachers in the Gangapur and Khultabad talukas. In response, the Teachers’ Coordination Committee, along with leaders from various teachers’ associations across the district, met with MP Sandipan Bhumre to discuss the issue. The meeting lasted for nearly one and a half hours.
MP Bhumre expressed that the unilateral action taken against the teachers was unjustified. He stated that it was inappropriate to penalize teachers based on a government decision from 40 years ago, as current circumstances have changed. Bhumre highlighted that teachers were arriving at schools on time. He also engaged in a detailed phone conversation with Minister of State for Rural Development, Yogesh Kadam, advocating for the waiver of the mandatory headquarters-residence requirement.
During the meeting, several office-bearers of teachers’ associations were present, including Deepak Pawar, Rajesh Hiwale, Amol Erande, Bhagwan Hiwale, Mahesh Labde, Anil Kale, Vijay Salkar, Devidas Sangle, and representatives from various other teachers’ associations.
