As such medium teachers posts advertised by  will benefit only Six persons as only three Nepali Medium schools are running throughout Assam presently which are in very deplorable conditions due to lack of teacher, books and infrastructures.”


“The Gorkhas of Assam have been focusing on the longstanding demand of M.I.L (Nepali teachers) since inception by various apex bodies of Gorkha Community. Accordingly the Government was very considerate and gracious to provide 200, 100 in 1993 and 100 in 2001 for Nepali M.I.L teachers. But due to non–confirmation of Nepali (M.I.L) posts, these posts have been confirmed and regularized in other categories. And thereby the Gorkhas were deprived of their rights.” He further added.

The Gorkha body has further demanded 1500 posts for M.I.L teachers all over Assam where more than 15% Gorkha students are studying as per RTE 2009. If only medium teachers are provided for the Nepali MIL teacher, they expressed concern that the future generation will be doomed.
