Lucknow, September 10 (HS). National Secretary of Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) Anupam Mishra has written a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi demanding the formation of Indian Teaching Service i.e. ITS on the lines of Indian Judicial and Administrative Service.
In the letter written to the Prime Minister, Anupam Mishra has raised a new and very important issue. The amazing thing is that till date no one has paid attention to such an important issue or attention has been deliberately ignored. In his letter, he has requested the Prime Minister that teachers should be selected on the same lines as judicial officers and public servants are selected for Indian Administrative Services, Indian Judicial Services, Indian Police Services and Indian Foreign Services etc.
In his letter, RLD national secretary Anupam Mishra wrote that as is well known, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is not only ready to take the toughest administrative decisions related to farsightedness, innovation and national interest, but also keeps a close watch on such decisions till they are implemented on the ground. Impressed by his amazing leadership ability and foresight, we are drawing his attention towards an important issue related to national interest and nation building. We also believe that he will definitely implement it.
He has written that the future of any nation can be bright and strong only when the coming generation is not only well educated but also capable and logical and teachers create a new generation endowed with such capabilities. The author of Arthashastra, Acharya Vishnu Gupta, who is also known as Chanakya or Kautilya, had said that 'creation and destruction grow in the lap of a teacher' and even today no scholar of modern society disagrees with this statement of his.
Therefore, a new Union Education Commission should be established for the selection of teachers in the country and ITS i.e. Indian Teaching Services should be established and teachers should be selected under the same process as judges are selected from the Indian Judicial Service, public servants from the Indian Administrative Service, police officers from the Indian Police Service, ambassadors from the Indian Foreign Service and Income Tax Commissioners of the Income Tax Department from the Indian Revenue Service, etc.
He has also written that if the formation of a new commission is not possible for some reason, then the process of selection of teachers should be added to the process of selection of administrative services and those who get the highest position in the preference list will go to the field of teaching which will be called ITS i.e. Indian Teaching Services. Those who come second will go to the Indian Administrative Service, those who come third will go to the Indian Foreign Service, those who come fourth will go to the Indian Police Service and those who come fifth will be selected for the Indian Revenue Service and so on.
Detailed information and report in this regard can be prepared through experts, otherwise he himself is ready to prepare a report of this entire process free of cost. He says that the pay scale, allowances and respect of the teachers selected in I.T.S. will be equivalent to that of judges of the judiciary. If this happens, then it will be a new experiment of its kind in the world, which will prove to be a milestone in the path of the resolution of making India a world leader.
