More than ₹12 crore is being paid as commission to placement agencies #VTPs while Vocational Trainers remain unpaid for five months.

Vocational Teachers have been without salaries for 5 months, while #VTPs claimed they had no funds to pay us on time.

Now that Samagra Shiksha has received the funds, Vocational Trainers’ salaries will still be routed through #VTPs, with more than ₹12 crore as commission before reaching us.

Meanwhile, Vocational Trainers and their families are suffering. Those working in hard and far-flung zones struggle to pay rent, while many do not even have money for daily travel/fare to reach their schools. Yet they continue to perform their duties despite receiving no salary for five months.

Other contractual employees of #SamagraShiksha are receiving their salaries directly. Why are Vocational Teachers treated differently?

A company that failed to pay salaries on time should not be rewarded with crores for simply passing on the salary after a five-month delay.

If direct payment is possible, why not pay Vocational Teachers directly and save crores of public money?

This is not merely a salary issue. It is the exploitation of vocational trainers and their families, funded by public money.

Why pay crores to an intermediary when the government can pay Vocational Trainers directly? @OmarAbdullah @CM_JnK @sakinaitoo @JKSamagra @SchoolEdujkut

When vocational teachers are forced onto the streets for their legitimate rights and are met with lathi charges instead of dialogue, it speaks volumes about the absolute failure of our education system and its underlying policies. @BhagwantMann
@harjotbains
@schooledu_pb

​A nation that beats its teachers on the asphalt cannot claim to value education.

​When those who have spent 12-plus years serving classrooms are rewarded with state brutality and silence, this is the raw, bitter reality of our education system: a system that expects teachers to build the nation, yet breaks their bones when they ask for survival.

[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.

An Open Appeal to the Hon'ble Chief Minister,@OmarAbdullah @CM_JnK Honorable Education Minister @sakinaitoo Ji.

Education is a public service, not a profit-making venture. Every year, a staggering amount of 12 #CRORE (₹12,01,57,752) is paid out as "Management Costs" to Vocational Training Partners #VTPs. We must ask: what value is this adding to our education system?

If this exact amount is redirected to the 2,000+ Vocational Trainers on the ground, it translates to an enhancement of roughly ₹5,000 per VT. Alternatively, these massive public funds could be utilized directly for our students—Establishing Modern Vocational Labs, Purchasing Upgraded Equipment, Building better infrastructure and funding crucial Exposure Visits.

Instead, these funds are absorbed by middlemen #VTPs while the frontline educators face persistent salary delays, often excused by claims that Samagra is out of funds.

The VTs of J&K voted for the NC government @JKNC_ to dismantle these inefficient, corrupt systems and prioritize both teachers and students. If the order to remove #VTPs and implement a direct financial model is not issued immediately, the frustration on the ground will force a crisis.

Schools risk being left without the very teachers who sustain them, jeopardizing the future of lakhs of students. The responsibility for this impending disruption will lie squarely with the administrative inaction forcing our hand.

We urge the government @CM_JnK to act swiftly, eliminate the middle management and invest directly in VTs and students.

IMPORTANT OFFICIAL UPDATE: JKVTWA

Following the announcement of our peaceful sit-in programme scheduled for 29th June 2026, the Association has today received an official call from the higher authorities inviting our delegation for a meeting to discuss our long-pending issues.

In good faith and to provide an opportunity for meaningful dialogue regarding the livelihoods and concerns of all 2,187 Vocational Trainers, the JKVTWA leadership has made the strategic decision to DEFER the proposed indefinite programme.

PLEASE NOTE: This is a deferment, NOT a cancellation. Our mobilization, preparations, and organizational efforts remain fully active. The final course of action will depend entirely on the outcome of the upcoming meeting and the concrete results achieved.

Until the meeting is held, we will continue our engagement with Vocational Trainers across J&K, strengthen our preparations, and obtain written consent for the indefinite strike.

We thank all 2,187 educators who have stood united throughout this 10-year struggle since 2016. Stay vigilant, stay united, and await further instructions from the Core Committee.

FROM REMOVAL TO RENEWAL.
FROM DEMOTION TO PROMOTION.

Is this the "JUSTICE" promised to Vocational Teachers before the Elections? @OmarAbdullah
@sakinaitoo

Instead of ending the exploitation of failed #VTPs, the government @CM_JnK has rewarded them #VTPs with a 1-year extension, increased their management cost from 10% to 12% and handed them more schools.

The exploiters #VTPs are being rewarded. The educators #VTs are being ignored.

CEOs and Directors have already recommended a dedicated job policy for Vocational Teachers and clearly stated that #VTPs have completely FAILED and should be REMOVED. The proposal is awaiting final approval, but no final decision has been taken yet. @OmarAbdullah
@sakinaitoo

How does a failed system get more schools, more money and more power, while the teachers who run the entire programme continue to suffer? @sakinaitoo @OmarAbdullah
@JKSamagra

If the issues of Vocational Teachers are not resolved within the coming days, we will launch an INDEFINITE MEGA PROTEST beginning from 29th June 2026.

We are prepared for protests. We are prepared for Detention. We are prepared for Jail.

What we are not prepared for is another year of Exploitation, Humiliation and Broken Promises.

The time for files and delays is over. The time for a decision has arrived.

Accountability Over Empty Promises

​The directive of @JKSamagra samagra Shiksha (Dt: 02-01-2026) was clear: #VTPs must pay honorariums by the 5th or face #MoU termination. Yet, delays continue to jeopardize the livelihoods of our dedicated Vocational Trainers.

​This order was meant to punish bad agencies, not exploit educators. To save skill education in J&K, the administration must act NOW:

​Enforce the law: Terminate the #MoUs of chronic defaulters.

​Protect our trainers: Build a transparent system that guarantees on-time pay.

​Root out the problem: Eliminate failed third-party middlemen #VTPs to restore dignity to Vocational Trainers.

EID IS COMING, BUT OUR SALARIES ARE STILL PENDING

​With the holy festival of Eid just days away, thousands of Vocational Trainers across J&K are left empty-handed. While the world prepares to celebrate, we are left begging the system for our own hard-earned meager salaries.

​This is not a one-time delay. Since 2016, Vocational Trainers have repeatedly suffered the same financial distress. Despite clear #MoU guidelines and repeated orders and directions issued by Samagra Shiksha and the Labour Commissioner due to persistent violations, #VTPs continue to disregard payment mandates and fail to release salaries by the 5th of every month. Ironically, despite violating conditions and directives time and again, they still continue to dictate terms as though they are above accountability. Alas!
​
​Despite rendering more than a decade of dedicated service to the Education Department, Vocational Teachers continue to work without job security, a clear policy framework, or basic service benefits and allowances. The real implementation of skill education has always depended upon the commitment and efforts of ground-level Vocational Teachers. In contrast, #VTPs have failed to demonstrate any meaningful contribution to strengthening the system. Their repeated inability to ensure timely salary disbursement reflects a long-standing pattern of inefficiency, raising serious questions about their relevance and role in vocational education.

​We earnestly request our Honorable CM @OmarAbdullah @CM_JnK and Honorable MoE @sakinaitoo to step in, hold these failing #VTPs accountable and RELEASE OUR PENDING SALARIES IMMEDIATELY so our families can celebrate Eid with basic dignity.

VTs are the architects of a skilled J&K. While the Delhi Government has set a brilliant precedent by increasing salaries of VTs to ₹38,100, we believe J&K will lead the way too.

High-quality vocational education deserves high-value recognition.
