Imphal, January 12 2018:
One Arts Graduate (RMSA) teacher who joined service with false BEd clearance claim has been dismissed today.
According to an order issued by Education Director Th Kirankumar, one Sultana Begum of Kiyam Leitanpokpi, Thoubal district joined the department as an Arts Graduate teacher in November 2011 and she was first posted at Sora Champhung High School, Ukhrul.
After the Anti Corruption Cell received a complaint that Sultana Begum does not possess any BEd degree, the department launched an enquiry against her.
The department received original marksheet and certificate of BEd degree purportedly issued by DM College of Teachers' Education in the name of Sultana Begum in 2001 from the ZEO Ukhrul.
However, when the department enquired about the marksheet and certificate at DM College of Teachers' Education, the Principal said that Sultana Begum never studied at the college nor did she clear BEd course in the particular year.
Whereas Sultana Begum's appointment has been cancelled, the ZEO Ukhrul has been directed to lodge an FIR against her within a month for joining Government service using forged documents.
The ZEO has also been instructed to recover the salaries and allowances drawn by Sultana Begum
within six months.
