The Arunachal Pradesh Teacher Educators’ Association (APTEA) has announced a phase-wise strike over recurring salary delays for DIET staff since 2019. It demands clearance of pending wages and integration of DIET payroll into the state exchequer. The body says repeated appeals failed, leaving employees facing financial hardship and leading to escalating protest plans.
Itanagar: The Arunachal Pradesh Teacher Educators' Association (APTEA) threatened to go on strike from Friday over the delay in the release of salaries to employees of District Institutes of Education and Training (DIETs).
In a statement, the association demanded immediate clearance of pending salaries and integration of the DIET payroll into the state exchequer system to ensure regular monthly payments.
Lecturers at the state's 11 DIETs are recruited through the Arunachal Pradesh Public Service Commission (APPSC). The institutes are responsible for training in-service teachers and conducting the two-year Diploma in Elementary Education (DElEd) course for pre-service teachers.
APTEA president Tayon Dai said DIET teaching and non-teaching staff are regular state government employees and should receive salaries directly from the state government instead of depending on irregular Centrally Sponsored Scheme (CSS) funds.
