Additional Chief Secretary of education Department Dr. S siddharth has given a strict warning to the government teachers of Bihar. If they gossip in school, they will be transferred to the border area. On saturday (07 June, 2025), in the 17th episode of the weekly program of the education Department "Shiksha Ki Baat Har Saturday", Additional Chief Secretary Dr. S siddharth answered many questions of teachers and parents openly.

In fact, Neena Gupta, a resident of Mridha Toli, Patna, had sent a complaint to the ACS on whatsapp that teachers do not come to teach in her son's school, gossip and the children sit idle. He expressed displeasure over this and ordered an immediate investigation. He directed to transfer the guilty teachers to the border area.

Complete transparency in transfers

On the other hand, a teacher told the Additional Chief Secretary of the education Department that he was lured with a desired posting by giving him Rs 70,000. On this, Dr. siddharth clarified that now the transfer process is completely automated and based on coded software. Neither the DEO, nor the teacher nor any other person can interfere in it. This is cyber fraud, so be cautious.

Salary deduction during medical leave will not be tolerated

On the other hand, on the complaint of Gopalganj teacher radhika Sharma, the Additional Chief Secretary clarified that it is wrong to stop salary during medical leave, unless it is a 'no pay leave'. Salary payment will be ensured in all valid leaves. Instructions were also given to the concerned officials for investigation.

A citizen of Madhubani complained that many seats of Tola Sevak and Markaz Sevak are vacant, but reports of zero vacancy are being sent to the department, due to which the reinstatement process is getting hampered. On this, the ACS said that where there are no cases pending in the High Court, the reinstatement process will be completed soon. A serious review of this matter will be done next week.
