"About 12,481 trained and untrained Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) teachers in the state have not received salary for the months of August, September and October this year, and are suffering," Meghalaya SSA School Association (MSSASA) president A C Rymbai said in a statement.



The chief minister, who is also in charge of finance, should be kind to release payment to the State Implementing Society, it said.

In February this year, MHRD secretary Anil Swarup had directed the chief secretary to ensure allocation of adequate amount for the school education sector in the State Budget 2017-18, to support effective implementation of Centrally- sponsored schemes, including the SSA.
