Acharya for teacher exchange with other metros

Tripura's officiating Governor Padnabha Balakrishna Acharya has taken initiative of exchanging teachers in schools and colleges between the state and other metros for harnessing skill of teachers so that they could impart better education to rural students.
"I have put forward a proposal to the state government on Thursday last when the Chief Executive Member of Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomus District Council (TTAADC) and Education Director of the state met me.
"Some teachers could come from other parts of the country to the state to teach in remote and tribal-inhabited areas and simultaneously teachers from here can go to metros like Mumbai, Delhi etc which would help in developing skill among teachers in the state", Acharya told a press conference here.

Acharya is the Governor of Nagaland and holding the additional charge of Tripura.
About his experience in Bairagipara school on whose ground his chopper had landed on August 19 due to bad weather, Acharya said, "In Bairagipara school I found ten teachers, all of them tribal, but I was shocked to see that there were only 15 students present and few were on way to school.
The total presence of students was only 31 that day. It means that the presence of students despite good infrastructures is very low. So I decided that an exchange programme would be useful for the students", he said.

Acharya said he had already taken up the matter with the Vice-Chancellors of five universities in Delhi, Mumbai and

Karnataka and the authorities of Vidyanidhi Vidyalaya of Juhu in Mumbai and all of them had agreed.
"I feel that two-three schools should be clubbed together in remote areas and given better infrastructure .
The governor said he would take initiative for dialogue between the professionals like business people, artists and educationist of North-East and other parts of the country.
