A STAFF GRIEVANCE
It is found and felt as representations are coming regularly that some of the Principals give little respect to their subordinates and indulge them in repremanding teachers and mostly TGTs in particular and not the buzzing office staff as if scolding a student.. Some do not even offer a chair, making a staff member stand all the time. But the worst of all some Principals are under the impression that repremandation or shouting at a teacher in the presence of students or his/her other colleagues is the best way of demoralizing and subduing them. Some even throw unparliamentarily words like 'Nonsense" "idiot" and saying "take out your hand from your pocket " while keeping their hands in their pockets and challenge the poor teacher to get ready to face "Memo" and threaten by saying publically "one of us will survive at the station"(It was shocking when a class eight student asked his teacher if he would stay at the station or the principal).
This way these Principals do that damage the image and reputation of the teachers in public especially among senior students and then these students start violating rules in front of the repremanded or victimised teachers especially TGTs as these students know that they (TGTs) are not their subject teachers, thus begins a kind of indiscipline..The inside picture of many vidyalyas is almost same and it is not as rosy as the NVS thinks.
The Association strongly feels that the NVS must give strict guidelines to the Principals in connection with promoting the aims and objectives of the Samiti. If Principals are in no position to provide inspiration to the staff and keep on repremanding teachers in front of students and other staff then the desired objective will never be achieved as the teachers are very important part of this system. There must be some sort of annual audit of Principal's Behaviour and the same can be ensured at the time of panel inspection in form of written note from staff side secretively or at least cluster incharge may seek opinions from the teachers'side once in a month if any of the teachers wants to say something about his/her Principal. Or MOD of the day can mention the same in the MOD proforma under the column Behaviour of the Principal for the day and if this kind of mechanism can be developed, the system may run more smoothly that is what the association strongly feels in this regard.

Requesting for checks and instructions against teachers'public repremandation
/insult by Principals in the JNVs – Reg.
Respected TEACHERS
The presence of undemocratic,
repremanding and shouting attitude of Principals in vidyalayas has been a
matter of grave concern and the Association has brought it in the past to the
notice of the Hon’ble Commissioner many times. Many a problem would have been
settled quite amicably if an amicable relationship had existed between the
Principals and the staff. In this connection the Association requests you to
issue some stern instructions and guidelines to the Principals and also see
that they are scrupulously followed. At least there must be some checks for
such Principals also.
