Staff Reporter<\/strong><\/p>\n ITANAGAR, 19 Apr:<\/strong> The Arunachal Pradesh Physical Education Association (APPEA) on Tuesday accused the state government of showing an indifferent attitude towards the physical education teachers (PET).<\/p>\n In a press conference, the APPEA claimed that the government has not created any PET post since 2014.<\/p>\n “Either the government is unaware about the importance of PETs in the education system, or it is deliberately ignoring the PET issue,” said APPEA spokesperson Hemant Gamre.<\/p>\n “PETs are serving with meagre salary, no promotional and career progression scope for many years, but our plight is being ignored repeatedly by the authority,” Gamre added.<\/p>\n The association demanded that the government “immediately conduct 30 posts of PETs which the department of education advertised on 15 March, 2018, and did not conduct the examination so far.”<\/p>\n Also, seeking immediate recruitment of district sports officer (DSO) and assistant sports officer in every district of the state, the association flagged the issue of various sports’ coaches<\/p>\n who are functioning as DSOs in-charge. It argued that coaches who have been appointed for guiding and nurturing young talents are being assigned as in-charge DSOs, affecting the quality of sports.<\/p>\n The association had submitted a representation to the sports & youth affairs minister, demanding recruitment of DSOs and ASOs in every district, and also “creation of district youth officer.”<\/p>\n Its demands include “age relaxation and revocation of physically able candidates from PET.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Staff Reporter ITANAGAR, 19 Apr: The Arunachal Pradesh Physical Education Association (APPEA) on Tuesday accused the state government of showing an indifferent attitude towards the physical education teachers (PET).
