More primary teachers to be appointed: Minister

JAIPUR: Rajasthan Minister of State for Education Vasudeo Devnani, given the additional charge of Panchayati Raj Department during a minor Cabinet reshuffle recently, on Sunday assured the people of the State that the primary education would be brought on rails by September 15 and the paucity of teachers resolved with new appointments.

Primary education in the State falls within the jurisdiction of the Panchayati Raj Department.

Mr. Devnani said the difficulties faced by students in the rural areas would be resolved by senior officers who would be regularly visiting the schools situated in the far-off regions.

Mr. Devnani appealed to the people, during his brief visit to Ajmer, to get benefit of the ongoing “Shiksha Sambal” campaign to admit their children to schools and ensure that they regularly attend classes.

The Minister said Rajasthan was the only State giving a number of facilities to students, such as midday meals, free textbooks, free bicycles to girls attending schools situated at a distance, and free roadways bus passes to students.

Mr. Devnani also met Gopal Modani, principal of the first all-women engineering college of North India coming up in Ajmer.
