Voluntary retirement scheme for government teachers completing 30 years of service is under the government’s consideration and it may be announced soon. This was revealed by Education minister K A Sengottaiyan after inaugurating the state-level 62nd Republic Day athletics at Kongunadu Engineering College at Thottiyam on Monday.
“An announcement in this regard will be made by chief minister Edappadi K Palaniswami within a week”, the minister said while replying to a question. Sengottaiyan said that the Tamil Nadu government was providing a number of measures to help sportsmen excel in their respective fields. He recalled that it was their late leader J Jayalalithaa who established a separate university for sports. “We have decided to hike incentives for sportsmen. Now they are getting Rs 100 a day. Efforts are on to provide free college education to 100 sports students who excel in their fields. Tamil Nadu government is now providing 3% reservation for sportsmen. There is also a plan to enhance the percentage for them,” he added.
He appealed to the student community to spare time for sports events on a par with studies as it would help build their physical and mental health.
A total of 2,099 boys and 2,236 girl students from across the 32 districts are participating in the sports meet to be held over six days.
Tourism minister Vellamandi N Natarajan, minister for backward classes and minorities welfare S Valarmathi and district collector S Sivarasu and officials from various departments were present at the event.
