He added that some teachers have incurred debts even amounting to Rs 10,000 to meet daily expenses.
“We have informed the district administrations, we have written so many letters to the state government, tribal department and Chief Minister Office. No one has bothered to even send us a reply,” Praveen Yadav said, president of district Teachers’ Association.
He shared that the association members have been reaching out to officers of education department, but no use. “The department heads mostly are not even replying and of the record, even blaming the new state government,” Yadav said.
