Tripura Announces Recruitment Drive For 1,733 Teachers

As many as 20,181 unemployed youths have been appointed in different government departments since 2018, says Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha

NEW DELHI: Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha has said the state government has initiated the process to recruit 1,733 teachers across various categories to boost the education ecosystem, a PTI report has said.

Speaking at a government programme, he said the education department has already appointed 6,998 teachers and allied staff since 2018.

Referring to allegations that the government was not creating enough jobs, Saha said as many as 20,181 unemployed youths have been appointed in different government departments since 2018.

Besides, around 5,000 people have been appointed on a contractual basis to assist the government workforce, he said, adding that the process to fill 1,733 teaching posts has already begun.

“It shows the government is trying to address the unemployment problem. There will be no compromise in appointments in the health and family welfare and education departments,” he said.

Saha said the BJP-led government has adopted a transparent recruitment policy.

“Government posts are being filled with complete transparency since the BJP came to power in the state. No one can claim to have secured a government job through recommendation, which was common in the previous regime,” he said.
