Ranchi: Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren on Tuesday distributed appointment letters to 301 newly recruited assistant teachers.
Among them, 131 are graduate-trained assistant teachers in mathematics and science, while 170 are intermediate-trained assistant teachers for Classes 1 to 5. These candidates were selected through a competitive examination conducted by the Jharkhand Staff Selection Commission (JSSC).
Speaking at the appointment ceremony, Soren said the state government is working to bring government schools at par with private institutions by improving infrastructure, filling vacancies, and ensuring quality education.
He emphasized that education remains a top priority of his administration, noting that recruitment for 26,000 more teachers is underway. Congratulating the appointees, he reminded them of their duty towards students: “Parents make sacrifices to educate their children. It is your responsibility to honour their efforts and teach with dedication and sincerity.”
Highlighting that teacher salaries come from public funds, Soren added: “There should be no compromise in shaping the future of children. The state’s progress depends on how well we nurture the next generation.”
The CM also pointed out that many parents are shifting their children from private schools to CM Utkrishta Vidyalayas, reflecting rising confidence in government institutions. He urged teachers to share suggestions with the government to further improve education.
The event was attended by Minister Sanjay Prasad Yadav, senior officials, and the newly appointed teachers along with their families.
