The Odisha government on Thursday abolished the provision of counter signature by additional/sub collector on salary-related bills of Plus-2 lecturers in the State.
The move will benefit teachers of 488-category aided non-government higher secondary schools in the State.
In another development, the Odisha government has decided to induct NCC into the curriculum of Odisha Adarsha Vidyalaya.
In the first phase, NCC will be inducted in 30 Adarsha Vidyalayas and later the same will be introduced at least in one school in every district.
