Haryana To Recruit More Teachers, CM Saini Makes Announcement

Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini has announced that the state government is actively working to improve education quality and provide better learning opportunities for students. During the budget session of the Haryana Legislative Assembly, while responding to questions raised by the opposition, the CM shared details about ongoing teacher recruitment efforts across the state.

"Our government is continuously working to enhance educational standards and ensure that students have access to quality learning opportunities," stated CM Saini during the discussion on the Governor's address. 

Current Teaching Staff and Vacancies

The Chief Minister explained that all government primary and secondary schools in the state currently employ a combination of regular teachers, guest faculty, staff through the Haryana Skill Employment Corporation, and internal arrangements to meet educational needs. 

According to reports from the MIS portal, government colleges have 7,986 sanctioned positions, with 5,422 lecturers currently working. The Haryana Public Service Commission is in the process of filling 2,424 Group-B Assistant Professor positions across various subjects. 

Addressing Opposition Claims 

CM Saini firmly rejected opposition allegations that 294 schools in Haryana have zero students. "This claim is completely baseless. There are only 28 schools without any students, and teachers from these schools have already been adjusted to other institutions," he clarified.

Special Focus on Nuh District 

The Chief Minister highlighted special efforts to improve education in Nuh district, noting that a separate Mewat cadre was created on April 30, 2012, to ensure quality education for students in the region.
