Haryana Education Minister, Sh. Mahipal Dhanda said that there are 829 government schools in the rural areas of Yamunanagar district, and a total of 4,353 teaching posts have been sanctioned in these schools. Out of these, 1,497 posts are vacant, and the current teacher-student ratio stands at 26:1.
The Minister was replying to a question on the last day of the Budget Session of the Haryana Vidhan Sabha here today. He said that the government is committed to filling vacant teaching posts in a timely manner. Necessary action is being initiated to fill these vacancies in Yamunanagar district as well as across the state through direct recruitment, promotions, and contractual appointments.
However, in some cases, the process gets delayed due to ongoing litigation. He further said that the state government is serious about filling vacant teaching posts in government schools and these will be filled soon.
The government had sent requisitions to the Haryana Public Service Commission for filling 4,476 vacant PGT posts in 2022 and 3,069 vacant PGT posts in 2024. Based on the recommendations received from the Commission, appointment letters have already been issued to 3,701 eligible candidates, while the selection process for the remaining approximately 2,000 posts is under progress at the Commission level.
In addition, the department has also invited promotion cases to fill vacant PGT posts in various subjects through the promotion quota, and promotions will be carried out shortly.
