[J&K Vocational Trainers Welfare Association JKVTWA @JKVTWA]

An emergency meeting of #JKVTWA, in collaboration with #JKECC & #JKTA @KJ@KJkecc, was held today under the chairmanship of President Mr. Shah Fayaz @ShahFay67820600 to address recent statements by Hon'ble Education Minister @sakinaitoo.

Terming Vocational Trainers engaged since 2016 as "backdoor appointments"—despite a transparent selection process via public advertisements, written exams & interviews under @JKSamagra—has deeply hurt & demoralized thousands of dedicated professionals serving for nearly a decade.

It is deeply disappointing that these trainers, previously recognized by the Hon'ble Minister @sakinaitoo herself as the "Backbone of Vocational Education," are now being accused of blocking permanent recruitment. Instead of a long-pending Job Policy, the community has been met with contradictory remarks causing widespread anguish.

J&K Vocational Trainers Welfare Association #JKVTWA, alongside #JKECC & #JKTA, will shortly hold a press conference to present the factual position, strongly condemn these statements and announce the future course of action regarding our ongoing indefinite strike.

We urge the Hon'ble Minister @sakinaitoo to verify official recruitment records, withdraw these misleading statements and acknowledge the invaluable contributions of VTs in Jammu & Kashmir.

"Vocational Trainers are the backbone of Skill Education."
The Education Minister agrees.
The Directors agree.
The Commissioners agree
Then why does the backbone still carry the burden of outsourcing, insecurity, and uncertainty?
Recognition without reform is just another promise

[J&K Vocational Trainers Welfare Association JKVTWA @JKVTWA]

A Respectful Submission to Hon’ble Chief Minister @OmarAbdullah & Honorable Education Minister @sakinaitoo ji regarding Vocational Trainers.

There seems to be a misunderstanding being circulated that the authority to reform our services lies entirely with the Central Ministry.
​In reality, the Ministry of Education @EduMinOfIndia has clearly clarified—in responses to petitions from J&K, MP, Rajasthan and other states—that regularizing Vocational Trainers, enhancing their salaries and deciding the mode of engagement (direct vs. outsourced) are strictly State/UT decisions. The Centre leaves these policy decisions completely to local governments.

​The current failed #VTP outsourcing system was introduced back in 2016, but our hope from the current Government @JKNC_ @CM_JnK is to see positive reforms, a correction of past systemic failures and a better future for educated youth. Even within J&K, our own department Secretary, Directors and all CEOs have previously noted the shortcomings of the failed #VTP model and recommended a shift.

Honorable ​Minister @sakinaitoo ji, you have always acknowledged Vocational Trainers as the "Backbone" of vocational education & same recognition has been extended by the Commissioner Secretary, Directors and CEOs of @SchoolEdujkut.

Madam @sakinaitoo Ji you have expressed deep Empathy for our struggles. Since the administrative authority and the departmental recommendations are already aligned & the matter is now lying on your table for a final decision, we look forward to your leadership in taking this historic step.

​If other states can successfully transition toward stable policy frameworks for their Vocational trainers, we are confident J&K can lead the way too. We humbly request the government to turn that empathy into a permanent policy framework.

India’s AI Summit or Modi PR Show
Chinese Robot Passed Off as Indian Innovation

[Al Jazeera English @AJEnglish]

The heads of AI companies OpenAI and Anthropic refused to hold hands in a group photo at the opening of a major AI summit in India. The rivalry between Sam Altman of OpenAI and Dario Amodei of Anthropic escalated this year when the latter ran attack ads during the Super Bowl.

Despite strong directives from Samagra Shiksha J&K warning VTPs of termination for delaying VT honorarium, delays continue. This exposes govt helplessness in enforcing MoUs.
@CM_JnK @sakinaitoo @JKSamagra Enough is enough; remove exploitative VTPs & recruit VTs directly! #EndVTPExploitation #JusticeForVTs @JKVTWA

99.67% overall pass percentage in Class 12th (Session Annual Regular 2025(Oct–Nov)) for Vocational Subjects.

This achievement is no coincidence.
Since 2016, Vocational Trainers have consistently delivered outstanding results despite salary delays, job insecurity and prolonged exploitation by #VTPs.

Year after year, performance has spoken louder than promises.
What remains absent is recognition, dignity and a transparent Job Policy for the professionals driving this success.

Results delivered. Justice still awaited.

Heartiest Congratulations to All RReT Teachers

The long-awaited Transfer Policy Committee for RReT teachers has finally been constituted. We extend our sincere appreciation to the Hon’ble Chief Minister @OmarAbdullah Sahab, our Hon’ble Education Minister @sakinaitoo Ji, and the entire School Education Department @SchoolEdujkut for taking this much-needed step. This decision will bring relief, dignity, and a sense of fairness to thousands of dedicated teachers serving across J&K.

But as we celebrate this development,
we also humbly draw attention to another section of the education workforce — the Vocational Trainers (VTs).

For 10 long years, Vocational Trainers have worked silently and tirelessly at a single place, without any service benefits, without a transfer policy, and only on a modest consolidated salary.
Many of our Vocational Trainers continue to serve in hard-zone schools, in remote and challenging terrain across both the divisions. And many others are working cross-district, travelling 100+ km daily just to ensure that skill-based education reaches every child.

Along with this, a major portion of our salary is drained in transport expenses and rented accommodation, leaving very little for our families. On the other side, Vocational Trainers face continuous exploitation at the hands of companies #VTPs, who leave no stone unturned in imposing self-styled rules, unjust deductions, and practices that openly disregard constitutional norms and basic labour protections.

Our female Vocational Trainers, especially, face tremendous difficulties during harsh winters, long travel routes, and tough commute conditions, yet they never step back from their duty.

Today, with deep hope and trust, we request Hon’ble Sakina Itoo Ji @sakinaitoo to kindly look into our issues as assured to us.
We have 2000+ vacant Vocational Trainer posts waiting to be filled, but before that, we earnestly urge the government to transfer Vocational Trainers working in hard zones and cross-district placements, so that after a decade of service, they can at least work within their own districts or nearby areas.

This small step will bring huge relief, dignity, and emotional support to hundreds of families.

We are not asking for privilege — only for fairness, humanity, and the chance to serve with dignity.
Hope this time, a concrete way out will be created for our Vocational Trainers too.

We are deeply thankful to Hon’ble Minister of Education, @sakinaitoo, for visiting the vocational stalls and witnessing the innovative projects and models prepared by our talented Vocational Students under the guidance of their Trainers #VTs.

Madam appreciated not only the students work but also encouraged the dedication and efforts of vocational trainers, recognizing the crucial role they play in shaping skilled youth.

Your gracious words on the importance of vocational education inspire confidence and strengthen the commitment of both students and vocational trainers.

After ten years of dedicated service, we are hopeful that the promised job policy by @JKNC_ leadership @OmarAbdullah will soon turn our efforts into meaningful recognition and opportunities.

Your vision, wisdom and encouragement continue to inspire us to work with greater commitment for a skilled and self-reliant Jammu & Kashmir.

J&K Govt @manojsinha_ @CM_JnK pays #Billions to #VTPs without them lifting a finger, everything for free. Meanwhile, Vocational Trainers, the real backbone of vocational education, face constant injustice. Irony is bitter, but remember, corruption never lasts forever.@JKSamagra

[J&K Vocational Trainers Welfare Association JKVTWA @JKVTWA]

The PAB approved salary enhancement for Vocational Trainers in J&K, but the revised pay & arrears remain pending for 2 years.
UT Ladakh has already released the benefits.
We urge the Worthy Director @JKSamagra to kindly release the same without further delay.

[J&K Vocational Trainers Welfare Association JKVTWA @JKVTWA]

Pursuant to the review meeting chaired by the Hon’ble MoE @sakinaitoo tomorrow, VTs expect that the failure of #VTPs be seriously discussed. Despite 10 years of inaction, why are they still continued? We hope for steps to strengthen vocational education & ensure justice for VTs.

[J&K Vocational Trainers Welfare Association JKVTWA @JKVTWA]

Jammu and Kashmir Vocational Trainers Welfare Association (JKVTWA) Unequivocally Condemns the Heinous Attack on Tourists in Pahalgam.

We are deeply outraged and heartbroken by the senseless and cowardly attack on innocent tourists in Pahalgam. This barbaric act is a direct assault on the values of peace, humanity, and the long standing tradition of hospitality that Jammu and Kashmir stands for.

Targeting defenseless civilians is not only inhuman but an unforgivable crime that has no justification in any faith, culture, or society. Such violence threatens the very soul of our community and must be condemned in the strongest possible terms.

Our hearts go out to the victims and their families. We share their grief and pray for strength and healing in this unimaginably difficult time. We also urge the authorities to ensure justice is swiftly served and that such incidents are never repeated.

Let us all stand united against terror, and may peace, compassion, and humanity triumph over hatred and violence.
