Teachers have the responsibility of building future generation: CM Chouhan

Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, while taking an important decision in the interest of teachers today, announced that the previous government had passed an order to wait for several years to pay full salary to teachers, which was wrong. It will be changed and implemented afresh.

Now teachers will start getting 100 percent amount of salary in the second year itself. After 70 per cent amount in the first year, there was a long wait to get 100 per cent. Now this process will be completed in one year. For this teachers will not have to wait for 4 years. Chief Minister  Chouhan was addressing the training programme of newly appointed teachers at Chief Minister’s residence today.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his video message sent for the programme said that the new education policy lays emphasis on promotion of Indian values. Teachers have been recruited extensively in Madhya Pradesh. This year 22000 teachers have been appointed. Congratulating all these teachers, Prime Minister Modi said that it is significant that almost half of these teachers have been appointed in schools in tribal-dominated areas. The children of rural areas will get maximum benefit from their appointment. Our future generation will get benefited. Madhya Pradesh government has set a target of filling more than one lakh vacant posts this year, which is a matter of hap piness. There is a target of appointing 60 thousand teachers by the end of this year. The result of these efforts is that Madhya Pradesh has jumped from 17th place to 5th place in the country in the Shiksha Survey. This is a big achievement of Madhya Pradesh in terms of quality of education. Madhya Pradesh achieved this feat without making noise. It takes dedication to do this kind of work. Without this, it would not have been possible. In a way it is a gesture of silent penance. This is possible with devotion towards education.

Prime Minister  Modi congratulated the students of Madhya Pradesh, all the teachers and the Government of Madhya Pradesh for this silent penance.

Prime Minister Modi said that in the Amrit Kaal of Independence, work is being done in the country by keeping big goals and new resolutions on priority. Today, new employment opportunities are being created in every field. The fast pace at which infrastructure building is taking place in different areas today, new possibilities of employment are also being created. Prime Minister Shri Modi said that Vande Bharat trains have been started from many places in the country. Businessmen and common people have been facilitated with these trains. Along with this, tourism development is getting a boost. Local products are reaching far and wide through schemes like One Station One Product and One District-One Product. Mudra Yojana has also been of great help to those people who were very weak financially. The changes made by the government at the policy level have also created many employment opportunities in the startup sector of India. The government also lays special emphasis on skill development to promote employment and self-employment. Skill Development Centers have been opened in the country to provide training to the youth under Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana. Decision has been taken in this year’s budget to open 30 Skill India International Centers. In these, youth will be trained through new age technology. Through the Pradhan Mantri Vishwakarma Yojana, initiative was taken to provide training to small artisans and also to link them with MSMEs.

Chief Minister Chouhan said that today is an unforgettable day. The correct name of a teacher is Guru. All the teachers present here are gurus. From Guru Vashishtha and Guru Dronacharya, there were many famous gurus. If someone becomes a teacher with a sense of job, then it is important from the point of view of employment, which is also necessary, but the work of a teacher is to work with a mission sense beyond the profession.

CM  Chouhan said that School Education and Tribal Affairs Department of Madhya Pradesh deserve congratulations for implementing the new education policy well. Madhya Pradesh has come from number 17 to number 5 in the national survey.

Chief Minister Chouhan and other guests inaugurated the training programme for newly appointed teachers.
