Non-teaching duties being imposed on teachers under Punjab Mukh Mantri Sehat Bima Scheme: Computer teachers

The Computer Teachers’ Union and the Computer Teachers’ Struggle Committee, Ludhiana, on Monday alleged that non-teaching duties were being “imposed on them by the administration, that too during final exams, under the Punjab government’s newly launched health insurance scheme ‘Mukh Mantri Sehat Bima Yojana‘.

A joint delegation of both unions met Ludhiana Deputy Commissioner Himanshu Jain, ADC (General) Poonam Singh, District Education Officer Dimple Madan, and submitted a memorandum, held a detailed discussion on the matter, and demanded immediate rollback of the order.

During the meeting, union representatives highlighted concerns of the teaching community, reminding the administration of their previous assurances, stating, “Even as the Punjab government assured that non-teaching works won’t be give to teachers, the ground reality is opposite.”
