Jammu, JAN 07:
A State Executive Meet of Akhil Bhartiya Rashtriya Shaikshik Mahasangh (ABRSM) was successfully held under the able chairmanship of National Organisational General Secretary, Shri Mahendra Kapoor ji. The meeting witnessed active participation of state office bearers and members, and focused on strengthening the organisation while addressing pressing issues concerning the teaching community.
The meet also discussed several long-pending and critical problems of teachers. These included early completion of DPC for promotion of teachers to the post of Masters, implementation of a transparent Annual Transfer Drive, and regularisation of In-Charge Lecturers pending since 2014. Serious concern was expressed over the adjustment of surplus Masters, delay in release of GPF of retirees immediately after superannuation, and the demand for earned leave benefits for teachers.
Additionally, issues related to RMSA schools functioning without heads and without sanctioned posts, as well as the transfer of clerical staff strictly as per the transfer policy, were strongly raised.
During the deliberations, Shri Mahendra Kapoor ji emphasized the strengthening of the organisational structure at all levels to ensure effective representation of teachers’ interests. Special focus was laid on accelerating the membership drive, encouraging more teachers and education employees to join the Mahasangh to build a united and powerful platform.
The importance of Pravas (field visits) by members and office bearers was also highlighted, so that grassroots-level concerns can be understood and resolved in a timely manner.
On this occasion, the ABRSM Calendar 2026 was formally released in J&K along with the book “Hamara Vidyalaya, Hamara Teerth”, which reflects the Mahasangh’s commitment towards promoting values, culture, and the sanctity of educational institutions.
