J&K Vocational Trainers Begin 3-Day Strike | Demand End to VTP & Outsourcing System
@JKVTWA #VocationalTrainers #JKVocationalTrainers #VTP #Outsourcing #Srinagar #JammuAndKashmir #Strike

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

After 3 days of peaceful protest, the J&K Vocational Trainers Welfare Association has extended the strike for 3 more days.
Our demands remain clear:
1. End the outsourcing system
2. Implement the submitted recommendations &
3. Ensure a job policy for VTs.
Our struggle continues.

[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.

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.

A Respectful Appeal for Direct Recruitment Through Samagra Shiksha, Not Through Companies (#VTPs).

We humbly appeal to the Hon’ble LG, @OfficeOfLGJandK @manojsinha_ Hon’ble CM @OmarAbdullah @CM_JnK , Hon’ble MoE @sakinaitoo and the Hon’ble Chief Secretary, @diprjk @DullooAtal to ensure that the upcoming 2000 Vocational Trainer posts are recruited directly by Samagra Shiksha J&K, @JKSamagra not through private companies #VTPs. Direct engagement is fully possible, as even Samagra Shiksha has clarified, and it is the only way to end the long-standing suffering of vocational trainers and improve the overall efficiency of skill development in J&K.

#VTPs have consistently failed in every core responsibility. Placements remain ZERO, internships/OJTs are neglected, and salary delays continue for months, causing financial and mental stress to vocational trainers. Yet private companies #VTPs continue to receive management costs year after year without accountability.

If the new posts are again routed through private companies (#VTPs), they will earn ₹50 lakh every month (₹6 crore a year) merely as management costs for just 2000 posts, public money that could instead be used to strengthen vocational labs, enhance student training, and improve quality.

Direct recruitment by Samagra Shiksha @JKSamagra will bring transparency, accountability, dignity, and cost-effectiveness, and will finally offer thousands of qualified unemployed youth in J&K a fair chance at stable employment.

We sincerely request that these posts be advertised as direct engagements under Samagra Shiksha, ensuring justice to vocational trainers, better outcomes for students, and responsible use of public funds for the future of vocational education in Jammu & Kashmir.

Vocational Trainers Shine Everywhere

We are proud to share that Dr. Mohd Ashraf Khan (#VocationalTrainer) has been felicitated by the Directorate of School Education, Kashmir @SchoolEdujkut for his outstanding performance in student engagement, professional commitment, and innovation.

He has also been honoured with the #EducationalLeadershipAward2025 by the School Education Department, J&K.

Despite challenges, the dedication and hard work of Vocational Trainers continue to speak louder than words, proving that true commitment never goes unnoticed.

Vocational Education in J&K Needs Reform — Not Rejection

The Assembly yesterday rejected the bill introduced by Hon’ble MLA Balwant Singh Mankotia @BalwantMankotia which sought to make vocational and skill education compulsory in Jammu and Kashmir.

While we truly appreciate the MLA’s vision to make youth skilled and self-reliant, it is important to note that 15 vocational trades were already introduced in 2016 under the Centrally Sponsored Scheme – #SamagraShiksha, covering 1,350 High and Higher Secondary Schools across the Union Territory.

In Classes 9th & 10th, vocational subjects are offered as optional, while in Classes 11th & 12th, they are taught as compulsory subjects.

Unfortunately, despite serving diligently since 2016, Vocational Trainers/Teachers continue to be left mercilessly at the mercy of private companies that have turned vocational education into a commercial venture, siphoning off public funds in the name of “Management Costs” running into crores of rupees every year.

We, the Vocational Trainers of Jammu & Kashmir, earnestly urge the Hon’ble Chief Minister @OmarAbdullah, Education Minister @sakinaitoo, and all Hon’ble MLAs to take serious note of this matter and initiate comprehensive reforms in the vocational education system — in alignment with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 and the progressive steps already adopted by several other States and UTs.

Vocational trainers deserve recognition, respect, and regularization — not neglect.

.@SakinaItoo @CM_JnK The PAB had approved the salary enhancement for Vocational Trainers in J&K, yet the revised pay and arrears have remained pending for the past two years. While UT Ladakh has already implemented and released the benefits, we hope the Director @JKSamagra is taking prompt action to release the same without any further delay.

Long-Awaited Diwali Gift is still pending. ☺️

Vocational Education is meant to end #UNEMPLOYMENT, not to fuel #CORRUPTION. Remove Companies #VTPs for a clean and fair system.

Thousands of highly educated vocational trainers @JKVTWA under JK Samagra who have been teaching during testing times, deserve assurances and direct engagement from the govt. They are exploited through VTPs & seek security, not a protest on Eid. @CM_JnK @sakinaitoo reach out before Eid to ensure they can spend it with their families.
