He said that the performance of Uttarakhand in PGI in education is continuously improving. The state has come down from 35th position to 19th position. Now it will be brought in the top ten.

They will be given appointment letters on behalf of the Chief Minister in the Directorate of Education on Wednesday. Along with this, more than 2300 posts of Class IV employees will be appointed through outsourcing.
teachers are needed
Due to shortage of teachers in Uttarakhand, education is not being conducted in schools. There are many schools in which only one teacher is giving education to all the children. In such a situation, the government first needs to remove the shortage of teachers.
