TURA, May 22: The Garo Hills Deficit School Teach-ers’ and Employees’ Associa-tion (GHDSTEA) on Friday submitted a memorandum to Chief Minister Conrad K. Sangma, seeking his inter-vention to resolve the dispute over the implementation of the Centralized Provident Fund (CPF) based pension scheme for deficit schools and colleges.

The association stated that while teachers had previously agreed to the Meghalaya Non-Government Schools and Colleges Centralized Provident Fund Scheme, 2023, they were surprised by a 2024 government order proposing a different version for 2026.

“We were expecting the implementation of the 2023 scheme, which proposed a CPF-based pension for those who joined before 2010 and the National Pension Scheme (NPS) for those who joined after 2010,” the association noted. (Contd on P-7)
