UP: Teachers laud CM Yogi Adityanath for transparency in appointments

LUCKNOW: Happiness knew no bound for the six newly appointed teachers in government secondary schools as they got the opportunity to interact with chief minister Yogi Adityanath when he handed job letters to 436 teachers virtually on Tuesday.
As a token, the CM spoke with six teachers from different districts selected in different subjects through video-conferencing.
The teachers praised the Yogi government for a fair and transparent appointment process. A Mainpuri native Roli Jha, who has been selected as assistant teacher for arts subject, said, “It’s a proud moment to get the appointment letter from Yogiji. We are thankful to him for introducing a written test for selection which paved the way for meritorious to come up.”
Congratulating Jha, a postgraduate from Rohilkhand University, for her success, the CM said, “Had you been selected earlier, you wouldn’t have to pay dowry at all or may be less dowry.”
During a two-minute interaction with Manjusha Devi hailing from Chitrakoot and selected as civics lecturer, the CM said, “As a teacher, it’s a bigger responsibility to prove yourself. You should not only know your lessons well, but also have in-depth knowledge of your subject.”
Falling short of words to express her joy, Priyanka Singh from Maharajganj, who is appointed as history lecturer, assured the CM of attending school regularly and not seeking transfer to a school near her house or village. Yogi told Singh, who was a housewife prior to her appointment as teacher, to gain confidence before entering the classroom with teenagers.
Hailing from a humble background from Varanasi, Lokesh, appointed as Hindi lecturer said, “It’s because of the government's fair and transparent process that candidates like us have got a chance to prove ourselves.”
Yogi exhorted Lokesh who is currently pursuing research in rural economy from BHU to work on the self-sustenance model that exist in Indian villages. “In villages, people come forward to organise Ramleela and yajnas, there’s hardly any support from the government. If our teacher understands this, villages will progress,” the CM said.
To Varanasi’s Aparna Pandey, selected as a Sanskrit lecturer, the CM said, “You have selected teaching as your work. It’s a noble profession and especially in your subject if you work hard there are high chances of promotion. You should motivate more women to take up Sanskrit, a subject which needs research.”
The CM told Ajay Prakash, a resident of Ayodhya, who is selected as a physics lecturer, that he should be happy to receive a job offer at a time when the PM gave this nation a new education policy after 34 years.
