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.

A LANDMARK JUDGMENT FOR VOCATIONAL TRAINERS
The Hon'ble Rajasthan High Court has delivered a historic judgment that goes to the very heart of the issues faced by Vocational Trainers. Striking hard at the current system, the Court took strong note of the severe hardships and exploitation arising under the failed #VTP model, emphasizing the direct responsibility of the Department toward those who have been serving in schools for years.
In a definitive set of directives, the Hon'ble Court ordered the direct departmental Recruitment of all Vocational Trainers, the Direct Transfer of Salaries straight into their bank accounts and the immediate formulation of a dedicated Policy to safeguard their service conditions and future.
This judgment is not merely a legal victory, it is a victory for dignity, job security, transparency and accountability. It recognizes that the true backbone of vocational education deserves state protection, structural respect and a stable livelihood.
JKVTWA wholeheartedly welcomes and appreciates this visionary judgment. It sets a powerful national precedent and offers renewed hope to thousands of Vocational Trainers across the country who continue to fight for justice, security and the recognition they deserve.

@JKVTWA Hope that government of J and K also take a good step for Vocational Trainer and also our salary and job policy may be farmed . Waiting for a good decision by our government of UT Jand K.

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.
Empower VTs, Empower Students.
A legacy of integrity & excellence.
Heartfelt gratitude to Mr. Mohd Rameez Khan on concluding his distinguished tenure as CAO,@JKSamagra. While we will deeply miss his presence, we take pride in his new role at JAKEDA J&K. Thank you, Sir, for your exemplary service & commitment.
We Build Employability. We Shape Futures.
Yet, we vocational trainers still struggle for job security and fair salaries.
A system that depends on us must also stand for us.
