Yes, its a great news for the untrained Para Teachers who have found it difficult to undergone B.Ed Training without hampering service. I personally know some HMs who even donot countersign their application for B.Ed from IGNOU. Now a Para Teachers can go for B.Ed with permission from Managing Committe.

But...
In para (a)
" that the period of training programme will be given as LEAVE WITHOUT PAY. For contact programme if any and the Exam period the para teacher may utilize the holidays / and or admissible leave at his/her ক্রেডিট "
may create confusion:
- Whether the entire Period for the Training in DISTANCE mode (IGNOU) be treated as L.W.P or NOT?
- Distance mode training can be done without hampering normal duty... !!! If some one wishes to do that without taking leave then...
- Admissible Leave also include 7 days ML!!! 14 days CL... Is that sufficient for covering the contact programme / Exam Progm !!!
This is my personal views... will you please share your views here...
