@JKVTWA A strong vocational education system requires secure and motivated Vocational Trainers. A comprehensive service policy, career progression, and job security are essential to achieve the vision of NEP 2020.

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

An important and evidence-based recommendation.

India cannot reform vocational education without strengthening the workforce that delivers it.

In Jammu & Kashmir, Vocational Trainers have been serving in government schools since 2016, yet they continue to work without a comprehensive service policy despite implementing school-based vocational education under Samagra Shiksha.@JKSamagra

As NEP 2020 @NEP2020 envisions integrating vocational education into mainstream schooling, reforms must also include investing in trainers, ensuring career progression, strengthening industry linkages and creating stable institutional support.

A quality vocational education system begins with empowering its educators.

@JKVTWA @KJkecc @ShahFay67820600 @sakinaitoo @OmarAbdullah @CM_JnK @JavedDar_NC @ImranNDar @JKSamagra It is painful to see our years of sincere service questioned. We have always worked for the betterment of students and deserve recognition, not remarks that diminish our contribution.

[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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

Hon’ble Minister @dpradhanbjp Ji, while discussions on skilling and employability are encouraging, the reality of skill education in Jammu & Kashmir remains incomplete.

Vocational Trainers, who have been imparting skills in schools since 2016 and are the backbone of Skill India at the grassroots level, continue to work under a failed outsourced system through #VTPs. Despite repeated assurances and the vision of NEP 2020, we still await a comprehensive job policy, job security, fair salary structure, annual increments and #FREEDOM from the failed outsourcing model.

If skilling is to truly strengthen employability and educational outcomes, those delivering these skills must also be empowered, protected and recognized. Strengthening vocational education begins with strengthening Vocational Trainers.

We hope the ongoing collaboration between the Centre and J&K Government will address these long-pending issues and ensure dignity, stability and a sustainable future for the Vocational Trainers serving thousands of students across Jammu & Kashmir.

Held a productive discussion with Ms. @sakinaitoo, Hon’ble Minister for Education, Health & Medical Education and Social Welfare, Government of Jammu & Kashmir.

Reviewed issues related to Teacher Education Institutions and the progress of school and higher education initiatives in Jammu & Kashmir. Discussed teacher training, institutional development, skilling and other measures to further strengthen the education ecosystem.
Encouraging to note the positive trends in enrolment and educational outcomes. Through continued collaboration between the Central Government and the Government of Jammu & Kashmir, we remain committed to expanding access to quality education, enhancing employability and creating greater opportunities for the students and youth of Jammu & Kashmir.

[wani Aamir @waniaamir94]

@dpradhanbjp @sakinaitoo The biggest reform needed in vocational education is a Job Policy for Vocational Trainers and an end to the VTP outsourcing model. We hope the assurance given last year is fulfilled.
