Data mismatch emerges ahead of teachers' transfer in Hry

Gurgaon: Blame it on "record flaws", thousands of teachers have been left high and dry. The teacher transfer drive is likely to be postponed from June to Aug following the detection of widespread data inconsistencies between manual records and the management information system (MIS) portal.
The delay has caused significant concerns among thousands of teachers — including junior basic training (JBT), primary teaching (PRT) and head teaching (HT) staffers — whose transfer prospects are now uncertain due to these record flaws.
Sources said a delegation from a teachers' union recently met with Haryana education minister Mahipal Dhanda, who confirmed that the transfer process, initially slated for June, will now likely occur after July 15, pushing it into Aug.
Amid growing concerns, director of basic education Jitendra Dhaiya has directed all officers to verify and update teacher data as soon as possible. This directive aims to rectify the flaws and ensure that the vital information, including current school assignments, is accurately reflected on the MIS portal to prevent further complications.
The core issue stems from a mismatch between the data prepared by education department officials and the MIS portal. This discrepancy is not isolated to a single district — the problem has affected the entire state. For instance, in Gurgaon, the MIS portal recorded 1,884 teachers as of April 11, while the report submitted by district elementary education officer listed 1,917 teachers, marking a discrepancy of 33 teachers.
The report showed a higher count.

Deve Gowda writes to PM seeking procurement of mangoes by NAFED to bail out Karnataka growers

Former Prime Minister H. D. Deve Gowda has written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Agriculture and Farmers' Welfare Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan seeking that the Centre instruct National Agricultural Cooperative Marketing Federation of India Ltd. (NAFED) to procure mangoes under the price deficiency payment (PDP) and market intervention scheme (MIS) to bail out Karnataka's mango growers who are in distress due to crash in prices of the produce. In separate, but similarly worded, letters dated June 22, Mr. Gowda brought the plight of mango growers to the knowledge of both Mr. Modi and Mr. Chouhan and said that mango was one of the major horticultural crops in Karnataka, cultivated over an area of 1.39 lakh hectares, particularly in Bengaluru Rural, Bengaluru Urban, Chickballapur, Kolar, and Bengaluru South (formerly Ramanagara) districts, with an estimated production of eight lakh to 10 lakh tonnes during the rabi season. However, due to weather vagaries and diseases, the mango yield has dropped to less than 30% this year, he pointed out. 'From May to June this year, heavy arrivals caused unsustainable price fluctuations. Prices fell from ₹12,000 per quintal to ₹3,000 per quintal, while the cultivation cost itself is ₹5,466 per quintal. This has financially stressed farmers, with many small and marginal mango growers unable to cover basic costs, leading to protests,' Mr. Gowda said. He expressed concern that Andhra Pradesh's ban on Totapuri mango varieties entering Chittoor district, adjacent to Karnataka, has disrupted the supply chain and resulted in a risk of post-harvest losses for Karnataka's border area mango growers. This has created tension among the mango growers, leading to protests in many districts, especially in Kolar and Chickballapur, he pointed out. The Chief Minister of Karnataka and the Chief Secretary have asked Andhra Pradesh to revoke this ban immediately. Additionally, the State government has requested the Centre to start procurement through Central agencies such as NAFED and the National Cooperative Consumers' Federation of India Ltd. to aid farmers and alleviate rural distress, he noted. 'I request the Central government to instruct NAFED to procure mangoes under the PDP and MIS. This will support farmers by ensuring fair prices through direct purchases from farmers and through farmer producer organisations (FPOs),' he said. 'I trust that the Central government will promptly take appropriate actions to support Karnataka's mango growers by providing adequate financial benefits under various schemes,' he said.

HAU protest: Haryana govt panel holds talks with students

Jun 22, 2025 07:06 AM IST A four-member Haryana government panel on Saturday held two rounds of talks with students of Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University (CCSHAU), Hisar, who have been protesting on campus since June 10 following a lathi charge by university officials and security personnel. A third round of talks was underway at the time of filing this report. (Sourced) The committee, comprising education minister Mahipal Dhanda, public works minister Ranbir Gangwa, social justice and empowerment minister Krishan Kumar Bedi, and Nalwa MLA Randhir Panihar, met a 12-member student delegation at the deputy commissioner's office in Hisar. A third round of talks was underway at the time of filing this report. The students submitted a dossier to the panel containing video footage of the alleged assault, medical records and testimonies from injured students. However, neither the panel nor the students disclosed which demands had been accepted or rejected, citing that final discussions were still ongoing. More than 350 students have signed a memorandum demanding the removal of vice-chancellor BR Kamboj, accusing him of stifling dissent and ordering the June 10 lathi charge outside his official residence. A copy of the memorandum has also been sent to Haryana governor Bandaru Dattatreya. At the protest site, students have put up a large poster titled 'Wall of Courage,' which supporters—including fellow students, faculty members, and parents—are signing as a show of solidarity.

The agriculture minister—despite the university's focus—was excluded from the panel. Chief minister Nayab Singh Saini earlier stated that the Haryana govt stood firmly with students and youth, and would ensure no injustice was done to them.

They emphasised that the protest is not only a physical movement but also a demonstration of mental discipline, resilience, and unity. The students also chanted Om and recited the Preamble of the Constitution during the session, creating a solemn and spirited atmosphere at the protest site.
