Computer Teachers of OAVS are Worst victim of conspiracy of Odisha bureaucracy


Computer Teachers  of OAVS are  victims of conspiracy  of Odisha bureaucracy, a dangerous  trend  in Odisha   
(Exposed under RTI)

RTI  exposed  how  Odisha  bureaucracy  conspired  to destroy  bright  career  of educated  youths  of Odisha  and made  them sufferer  for  years  together  with low  salary  and hard  work


In 2016,  Govt. of Odisha  launched  new scheme Odisha  Adarsha Vidyalay ( Odisha Model school)   for  promotion  of excellence  in education  upto secondary  and Higher Secondary stage. The purpose is to create opportunities for students in hinterland to receive education of high quality  and to create vocational training  to the students  along with  their normal  course of studies so as to make them skilled  enough to create an environment  of self-sufficiency  and on the whole  acquainting  with  the pace of life. No doubt, it  will create  human capital for future  days with a positive effect  on the society  as well as on the economy  both  in micro  and macro level. It  is  a programme under Centrally Sponsored  Plan ( CSP) where  as per  the  principle  the  Govt. of India  agree  reimbursement  of 75% total expenditure  under plan Budget. These  Model  Schools  will be  CBSE  affiliated  and replica  of Kendriya  Vidyalaya (KV). Accordingly, the State  Govt. followed staffing pattern  of KV , Each school  will have 12 no. of teaching  and 4 no. of non-teaching posts  so  as  to fit in to the curriculum. Model  Schools  with CBSE  affiliation  started  from the  year 2016-17.

Computer Teachers- Worst Sufferer  due   to  conspiracy  of Usha padhi, the then Secretary, Dept. of School and Mass Education, Govt. of Odisha

As model  School  will be  replica  of KV Schools, Each school  will  have 12 no. of teaching  and 4 nos. of non-teaching  post. The  Concurrence  of Finance Department  was granted  for  appointment of 12  teachers on regular  basis  and one Junior Clerk-cum accountant  and 3 peons  on contractual basis  to be outsources. Like other teaching staff,  the post of Computer  teacher  will be regular with  monthly salary  of Rs. 30163.00 ( Grade Pay 2200 ).  Due  to  bureaucratic  conspiracy,  the  Computer teachers  are  reduced to  contractual  staff  in 2015. Smt. Usha Padhi, the then Secretary, Dept. of School  and Mass education played  notorious  role  by changing  concurrence  of Finance  Dept for  regular   Computer  teacher  to contractual  computer teacher. In  the meeting of Steering Committee of Model schools  held on 23.2.15  under chairmanship  of Smt. Usha Padhi , it  was decided  that  the post of  Computer  teachers  will be on contractual basis  with   remuneration  of  Rs. 13500.00 instead  of regular  post.  No reason  is cited   in the  proceedings  to justify  for appointment  of Computer  teachers  on contractual basis. Though these  computer  teachers  were  selected  through process of rigorous interview  which was  followed in the case  of interview of other  teaching staff, their post  was kept  contractual. The concurrence  of Finance  Dept. was simply  overruled  by Smt. Usha Padhi which is  extremely  arbitrariness and extraneous. . RTI revealed  that  despite  several  grievances  presented  by Computer teachers  for  regularization of services as per decision of Finance Dept., the  officers  of Dept. School and Mass Education have kept  it in cold storage. Due to low salary , the   highly qualifited  computer  teachers  have left  the  post  reducing  to  130  against  sanctioned post  of 190 . Total no. of  60 Model  Schools are  running  without  computer  teachers.
