The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs approved revision of the existing norms of the SSA programme to conform with the RTE Act (Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act).
The Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) Programme, a major flagship programme of the Government of India to universalize elementary education in the country, will be the main vehicle for the implementation of the RTE Act.
The revisions are as follows:
(i) Revision of SSA norms, including provisions for teachers and classrooms, support for academic supervision, research, evaluation and monitoring, opening of Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalayas (KGBVs) to bring them in conformity with the provisions of the RTE Act and implement the combined RTE-SSA programme. New norms under SSA for uniforms, transportation costs and residential schools to implement the combined RTE-SSA programme have also been included.

is there any way that the services of contractual employees of sarba siksha abhiyan will be regularised. They are skillful labours so they have every right to be permanent employees of Indian govt. or state govt.

i dont think so that SSA employes will get regularised, coz government has stricly mention in the contract that such employes has no right to claim. i m also an employe in SSA and i m also worry about it. bt its fact and we have to except it.
on the other hand Govt is giving full salary as a normal techer to the techers under IED-SS scheem while in SSA IED scheem employes are getting only 6825 Rs Per month.
both employes are working in the same scheem but only partiality is happning by the government with SSA employes .
Orissa, Rajasthan,Uttrakhand, Gujarat, arunachal pradesh had already regularised the service of teachers working under SSA. SSA teachers in chandigarh under the banner of Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan Teachers Welfare Association (SSATWA) has began their quest. For sharing information Contact arvind rana, President (SSATWA)at email id- arvindr41@gmail.com
What about SSA – Subject Master Emplyoyees taken on contractual basis ?
please tell whether the sarv shiksha abhiyan employees be regularised
what is our future so less salaries and job is not secure
what to do with thses jobs when job is not secured ?Better we all should open a school and will be associated with no extra cost and can earn lot. I think all ssa teachers should leave the jobs immediately and no other teacher should get appointed till govt. made them regular .
all ssa teachers of india, for information on problems of ssa teachers, call me ( Arvind rana, President, Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan Teachers Welfare Association, chandigarh) at 09872277422.
