It has been said in this letter that action like FIR and honorarium recovery will be taken against such para teachers who are working or have done jobs on the basis of fake certificates. For this, all the districts should send the report of para teachers from their respective places. Project director Kiran Pasi has said that the certificates of para teachers are currently under investigation.

Mistakes have been found in the certificates of many such teachers and action will now be taken against such teachers. The assessment test for para teachers is to be taken by the Jharkhand Academic Council. Before this examination, the verification of the certificates of para teachers has to be completed. The process of investigation is going on.

On the basis of this report, the education project will work on para teachers from FIR to the recovery of honorarium. There are about 133 para teachers from different districts who have tendered their resignations during certificate verification. The reason for the resignation of such teachers has been asked to be investigated.
