These issues severely impact the present and future generations and obstruct the implementation of the new education policy,” she stated.

Additionally, the union called for the demolition and reconstruction of the old IS office building, timely pension disbursement for retired teachers, and the reassignment of teachers working in DEO and IS offices to their respective schools. They also requested the transfer of PGT teachers in Education or Philosophy from Vidya Jyoti School Lane to other schools.
