Programme which has been launched in 2009 by the Prime Minister of India across the country including J&K have finally made their way to move to PM office for a solution. Reliable sources said that the State literacy Mission (SLMA) has been constituted in 2010 and notified inviting applications for the recruitment of Preraks, Block Co-ordinators, Distt. Co-ordinators purely based on merit at Panchayat levels, Blocks levels, Distt. levels e are issued by the concerned Distt. Development Commissioner (Chairman ZLss).The said scheme has been extended by the Govt. of India upto 2017 but it is evident that the PRERAKs, Block co-ordinators, Distt. Co-ordinators may cross the maximum age limit under service rules and obviously will get expired in terms of engagement in other departments, said the sources. Sources again said that the persons engaged have not even got the monthly salary for more than 2 years and the Secretary, Education department Shaleen Kabra when ever tried to contact did not even showed interests to meet the delegation and ever tries to escape out. A person engaged with the SBM said, "We are working on the meagre amount of Rs. 2000/-pm which is still a liability to the State Govt. and wages per month is not sufficient according to the labour law (Minimum wages Act)." He added that no consideration is given to the number of educated youths (mostly PG, M.Phil, B.Ed) engaged as PRERAKs, Block Co-ordinatiors, Distt. Co-ordinators under the scheme, as the education authorities are watching the situation with no intention to redress the problem. Another PRERAK shared," the department have used us in every possible way in elections, aadhaar card etc but till date no consideration is given to us". Repeated attempts to contact Commissioner Secretary Shaleen Kabra once again went in vain as he did not pick up the call while when contacted at the landline number of Sexy. Office, the person on phone replied," I don't have any idea regarding issue of SBM ", sharing that the concerned offices have gone to Delhi for some official meetings.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
