The Nagaland government’s Department of School Education has reiterated that while it remains committed to addressing the concerns of the adhoc/contract teachers, the demands raised by all Nagaland Adhoc Teachers Group (ANATG) cannot be acceded due to procedural constraints.
A press release issued by the department stated that the demands of ANATG cannot be met to at this stage due to mandatory procedural requirements under the State’s one-time regularization policy. A release further stated that the process involves detailed scrutiny and verification of documents, confirmation of eligibility criteria, and compliance with established Government guidelines applicable uniformly to all eligible adhoc/contract employees in the State. “In view of these statutory and procedural formalities, issuance of a specific date for regularization or acceptance of the demands outside the prescribed framework is not feasible at present,” it added. ANATG is a group of 1166 teachers appointed on adhoc/contract basis against various categories of posts under the School Education Department during the late 1990s and 2012. The group is holding protests for regularization of their services.
