Guwahati/IBNS: Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma distributed appointment letters to 884 TET qualified teachers on a regular and contractual basis in various categories under Karbi Anglong Autonomous Council in a programme held at Joysing Doloi Auditorium at Diphu on Friday.

This includes 108 Assistant Teachers and 25 Maths & Science Teachers of Upper Primary, 192 Assistant Teachers (Primary) under Primary Education Department and 559  Assistant Teacher (Contractual) under Axom Sarba Siksha Mission.

The Chief Minister in the programme also ceremonially distributed one-time financial assistance (Insurance premium) to DIPR registered and recognized 32 media persons and financial assistance to the tune of Rs. 1 lakh each to 34 eminent writers of Karbi Anglong and West Karbi Anglong District.

Apart from this, the Chief Minister also distributed financial assistance to the tune of Rs. 50,000 each to the families of deceased journalists and Rs. 15,000 each to 88 law graduates.

Speaking on the occasion, Sarma said that in recent years, Karbi Anglong has witnessed a renaissance of development and there is a new dawn in terms of progress in the district.

The Chief Minister said that if infrastructure like roads, and bridges are parts of the body of a human being, education and health can be considered as the soul. "The state government is making all out effort to develop the soul and has been spending 6% of GDP in education and health sector," said Sarma.

Stating that teaching should not be considered a mere profession, the Chief Minister urged the teachers to be accountable to the society as they are entrusted with the great task of developing human resources.

He said that though since 2012-13, the state government has recruited several thousand TET qualified teachers in the state and many have been appointed in Karbi Anglong also, the academic condition has not improved, rather enrolment has recorded a downward turn. The situation in Karbi Anglong is no different, he said adding that teachers who don't go to school and show negligence to their duties are enemies of society.

Saying this, the Chief Minister made a call to the people of Karbi Anglong, especially the intellectual class to keep a vigil on the performance of teachers so that they carry out their responsibilities with utmost committment. "Karbi Anglong has all the resources, but what is required the most for its fast development is quality education and better academic opportunities as education teaches us equality and leads us to development," Sarma observed.

Moreover, underlining the importance of venturing out of the district to find out more employment opportunities, the Chief Minister urged the students of Karbi Anglong to learn as many languages as possible to make them more employable.
