Imphal, September 26 2012:
The first round of talks between the State Government and Joint Committee of Hill Districts Student Organisation, Manipur (JCHDSO) on opening of Teacher's Eligibility Test (TET) form distribution centres and TET exam centres in five hill districts of Manipur failed to make any breakthrough today.
As per sources close to JCHDSO, the first round of talks over the TET issue was held at the office chamber of the Education Minister here but the two sides failed to make any progress on making available the TET forms and at the same time setting up of TET exam centres in all the hill district headquarters.
At the meeting, the State Government side was represented by Education Minister M Okendro, Agriculture Minister Md Nasir and other MLAs while presidents of Zeliangrong Students' Union, Manipur (ZASUM), Naga Students' Union, Chandel (NSUC), Senapati District Students' Association (SDSA) and Tangkhul Katamnao Saklong (TKS) represented the JCHDSO.

Education Minister Okendro told the tribal student committee that there is a technical problem to hold TET exam in the hill district headquarters in the current year, it will be feasible from next year onwards, the sources said.
However, the representatives of the committee rejected the proposal of the minister telling him they cannot compromise the demand.
They urged Okendro to defer the scheduled TET exam for some time so as to make all the necessary arrangements during that period to make it all possible to hold the exam in the hill district headquarters.
As the committee failed to budge, Okendro later told them to discuss the matter in another meeting along with leaders of the valley student bodies, resulting in a fresh stalemate over the issue.
JCHDSO also submitted a representation which mentioned a charter of demands adopted by it to the minister.
The charter of demands urges the minister to make available TET forms in all the hill district headquarters; to extend the last date of submission of form and to defer the date of exam as it collides with the date of SSC exam.
