GHIUU seeks govt’s intervention on eligibility criteria

Expressing concern over the proposed change in Hindi teacher recruitment, wherein only those who passed at least Class 12 and hold Hindi diplomas would be eligible to apply, the Government Hindi Institute Unemployed Union (GHIUU) has sought the intervention of the state government to relax the eligibility criteria.
The union, which held a general meeting at Government Hindi Institute, Oriental Colony, here Saturday, discussed the agendas pertaining to the issue.
Speaking to Nagaland Post, the union convenor Njio Semp stated that as per the National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE) norms, only class 12th pass with Hindi Diploma were eligible for undergraduate Hindi Teacher post, but it was only after 2018. However, he said that 10th pass with Hindi Diploma was eligible until 2017.
GHIUU convenor said that last recruitment for primary teacher (Hindi) was carried out in 2014, and another advertisement published in 2020 has been put on hold for more than a year now.
In this regard, the union convenor said that in event an advertisement for Hindi primary teacher posts then the government should allow them to apply.
The union expressed hope that the government would not turn a deaf ear to the grievances of the diploma holders, who studied from the government Hindi institute Dimapur. “We have full confidence that the government will have a soft corner fir the Hindi diploma holders,” Semp said.
He said that the union was prepared to appeal to the responsible department and communicate their grievances at the earliest.
