Aizawl, 19 Feb (Zoram News): Education Minister Lalchhandama Ralte told the Assembly House that SEDP teacher recruitment is being implemented based on school conditions and teacher availability.
In response to a question from Palak MLA Pu KT Rokhaw, Pu Chhantea said that the high school established and maintained by the communities received the Grant (GIA) at their request.
The Socio-Economic Development Policy (SEDP) is the flagship programme of the ruling Mizo National Front (MNF), which aims at bringing sustainable development by accelerating progress in key sectors through exploration and judicious use of resources and maintaining equality and equity among the citizens.
Under this policy, the government was initially planning to provide monetary assistance to the tune of not less than Rs 3 lakh to beneficiaries to start projects (trades) of their choice for sustainable development and the economic uplift of household families.
The flagship programme has been partly implemented in the form of constructing roads, important infrastructures and projects and hiring teachers, among others, since 2019.
The state government has allocated Rs 700 crore for the implementation of SEDP in the 2022-2023 state’s budget.
