The move to form this Grievance Cell mirrors a similar initiative previously introduced in the Health Department and has been met with cautious optimism from various stakeholders in the education sector. Teachers and educational staff have long voiced concerns over unresolved issues within the department, with many complaints often going unaddressed. While some welcome the formation of the Grievance Cell, they stress the importance of maintaining objectivity in handling complaints.

The newly formed committee, comprising the Director, Joint Secretary, and seven other department officials, is tasked with ensuring that complaints are resolved within the stipulated 48-hour timeframe. This stringent timeline is intended to prevent issues from lingering and to demonstrate the department's commitment to efficiency.

As the Grievance Cell begins its operations, educators across the state will be closely watching its effectiveness, hoping it truly resolves their concerns in a timely and unbiased manner.
