Despite strong directives from Samagra Shiksha J&K warning VTPs of termination for delaying VT honorarium, delays continue. This exposes govt helplessness in enforcing MoUs. @CM_JnK @sakinaitoo @JKSamagra Enough is enough; remove exploitative VTPs & recruit VTs directly! #EndVTPExploitation #JusticeForVTs @JKVTWA

We place on record our firm appreciation for the Worthy State Project Director @bhawani_rakwal, Samagra Shiksha J&K, and the Worthy Chief Accounts Officer @JKSamagra for issuing this decisive order and making it public. This order officially validates the long-standing concerns raised by Vocational Trainers regarding systematic violations of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) by Vocational Training Partners #VTPs. The order makes it abundantly clear that all Vocational Training Partners #VTPs have been in continuous and comprehensive violation of the MoU since its inception in 2016. These violations are not confined to any single aspect, but extend to multiple core terms and conditions of the MoU, reflecting a complete failure of compliance and accountability. On this basis alone, all #VTPs stand disqualified from continuing in the vocational education system of Jammu & Kashmir. It is now an established and documented fact that all #VTPs have failed to fulfil even the basic obligations prescribed under the MoU. This position has already been submitted in writing by all 20 Chief Education Officers of J&K and the Directors of School Education, particularly during deliberations on the implementation of the Haryana Model. These recommendations are explicit, unanimous, and against the continuation of all #VTPs, leaving no administrative or legal justification for their retention. Despite repeated warnings and documented failures, crores of public funds have continued to be channelled to private companies that have proved to be a burden on the vocational education ecosystem rather than contributors to it. This situation reflects systemic inefficiency and must be brought to an end. We therefore categorically demand that the Government of Jammu & Kashmir immediately act upon the recommendations already submitted by the CEOs and Directors, and initiate the removal of all #VTPs without any further delay. We expect the present Government @JKNC_ @OmarAbdullah @sakinaitoo to honour the commitments made to the Vocational Trainers of J&K, beginning with decisive structural reforms strictly in accordance with the recommendations already placed before the Worthy Secretary, School Education Department, J&K.@SchoolEdujkut This order must be treated as a trigger for corrective action, not a mere formality. The vocational education system of Jammu & Kashmir demands accountability, reform and justice—without compromise. #RemovalOfPrivateCompanies #JusticeForVocationalTrainers @JKNC_ @CM_JnK @OmarAbdullah @sakinaitoo @Surinderch55 @JavedDar_NC @JavedRanaa @satishsharmajnk @diprjk @nasirsogami @tanvirsadiq0 @DrVeeri @altaf_kaloo @AdvReyazkhan @HilalAkbarLone1 @FarooqShah_JKNC @MubarakGul_ @AliMSagar_ @ajazjan @MushtaqGuroo @mianmeherali @MubarakGul_ @HilalAkbarLone1 @ahsanpardesi @ChjavedIqbal_ @PeerzadaFaroz @masoodi_hasnain @RuhullahMehdi

PAB has approved the salary enhancement for Vocational Trainers in J&K, an imp. component of vocational education and the Skill India vision, yet the revised pay and arrears have remained pending for the past two years.Request Director @JKSamagra for release the same.@JKVTWA

Hon'ble @sanjayjavin, we seek your urgent intervention to end outsourcing through #VTPs. Vocational Trainers hv served schools with dedication but face exploitation:Low Pay,No Security,No Allowances,No Parity. We appeal for a transparent Job Policy to secure our future & dignity.

The PAB approved salary enhancement for Vocational Trainers in J&K, but the revised pay & arrears remain pending for 2 years. UT Ladakh has already released the benefits. We urge the Worthy Director @JKSamagra to kindly release the same without further delay. @sakinaitoo @CM_JnK

Despite challenges and neglect, our Vocational Trainers in J&K continue to empower students with real-world skills. Here, Vocational Trainer Mr. #FarhatAbbas at #BHSS #Behnipora trains future automotive experts through hands-on engine work. @OmarAbdullah @sakinaitoo @JKSamagra

Shameful & Heartbreaking Vocational Teachers in J&K, including females, were unjustly detained by police yesterday evening and today morning. @KashmirPolice We are not lawbreakers, we are nation builders. This treatment is unacceptable and deeply disrespectful to the teaching community. We have been on indefinite strike for the last 8 days, and we will continue it until our voices are heard and our demands are met. We demand justice, not detention. Our voice will not be silenced. @OfficeOfLGJandK @diprjk @OmarAbdullah @CM_JnK @sakinaitoo @nasirsogami @JKSamagra @JKNC_ @tanvirsadiq @IfraJan_ @MehrajMalikAAP @salmanalisagar @DrVeeri @ahsanpardesi @tarigami @tanvirsadiq @JavedDar_NC @SaraHayatShah @PyareLal052 @parawahid @Sunil_SharmaBJP @ShagunParihar_ @satishsharmajnk @altaf_kaloo @AliMSagar_ @ajazjan @GAMIR_INC @FarooqShah_JKNC @MubarakGul_ @Surinderch55 @Irfanhafeezlone @chzulfkarali @AdvReyazkhan @ahsanpardesi @MushtaqGuroo @HilalAkbarLone1 @mianmeherali @JavedRanaa @nizamuddinbhat6 @khadime_langate @CPGanga @DrBharatBushan @shaktiparihar_ @pathania_rs @Shamsharma_JK @ChJavedIqbal_ @TariqKarra #JusticeForVocationalTrainers

Vocational teachers are not outsiders, they are our own, highly qualified,& dedicated to shaping the future of our future. Their voices must be heard,& the rights they deserve must be granted. #SupportVocationalTeachers @JKVTWA @reshu1720

Vocational Trainers (VTs) are the backbone of #SkillIndia but have been ignored for a decade! We urge the govt to: ✅ Frame a job policy for VTs ✅ Ensure fair salary hikes ✅ Remove VTPs & end exploitation Skilled India needs empowered trainers! #VTsDeserveJustice

"Vocational Trainers of Jammu and Kashmir allege exploitation by private companies" facebook.com/share/v/15CzYRW…

Have received numerous reports of harrassment, mental torture & coercion of Voc Teachers by agents of VTPs. These agents must stop threatening & harassing Vocational Teachers immediately. These acts are intolerable. Persist, & you’ll be named, shamed, & face legal action.

The demands of Vocational Trainers are legitimate and genuine, must be fulfilled. I humbly request @OmarAbdullah and @nasirsogami @qaysar_lone in particular. Please take it with the Govt and redress as soon as possible. They deserve justice and they are our cream.

While everyone celebrated Eid with loved ones, vocational teachers were on the streets fighting for their rights. Justice delayed is justice denied! Their voices must be heard, and their demands must be met. #SupportVocationalTeachers #JusticeForVocationalTeachers

This Eid-instead of joy they protested for basic dignity—only to be arrested like outlaws.Nearly 100, including women were jailed.@OmarAbdullah 's JKNC government created this predatory setup—save your fake sympathy. No more stalling.Give them the security they deserve NOW.(3/4)

Over 9 years of loyal service, only to be betrayed and forsaken. Thousands of vocational trainers under @JKSamagra poured their hearts into skill development, yet they’re stuck with unstable jobs and frozen salaries. (1/4)

#JusticeForVocationalTrainers @CM_JnK @OmarAbdullah @manojsinha_ @sakinaitoo @JKSamagra @RuhullahMehdi @tarigami @MehboobaMufti

Dear @CM_JnK yesterday another bus service was free for @JKVTWA female VTs. We 2170 families voted for u but in return we got another gift free police service van to arrest females and few month kids. @RuhullahMehdi @parawahid @OfficeOfLGJandK @MehrajMalikAAP

Heartbreaking 💔 Strongly condemn the unjust detention of nearly 100’s vocational teachers both men and women who were peacefully advocating for Job safety and their rights. On the sacred occasion of Eid, instead of being heard govt. preferred to lock them up to avoid audience.
