JAMMU, Jan 31: Sakshar Bharat Mission (SBM) trainers have appealed to the Governor NN Vohra for release of wages, which are pending for the past three years.
According to ZA Wani, State Organiser, Jammu and Kashmir Sakshar Bharat Mission (SBM) Preraks Forum, the SBM trainers are in dire financial crisis in the absence of the pending honorarium.
“We are delivering our services at different schools across the State, but the concerned authorities have not paid us our dues for the past three years, which has lead to starvation”, he added.
Concerned authorities have pushed our future towards darkness as they don’t frame any policy for our job security and are ignoring the guidelines of the scheme, he said, adding that “Around 6000 SBM trainers are working under this Centrally sponsored scheme, but unfortunately we are not getting pending wages”.
“No doubt the Central Government has launched the programme in the State to generate the employment for qualified youths and to make the Jammu and Kashmir literate, but the concerned authorities are still unable to implement the programme in letter and sprit”, he added.
On behalf of SBM trainers, Wani appealed to the Governor to intervene into the matter and resolve the issue of pending wages at the earliest.
