Rawal, learned counsel for the petitioners and Mr. H.M. Raturi, learned standing counsel for the State of Uttarakhand. The petitioners are graduates and are working on the post of “Shiksha Mitra”. According to the petitioners, there is a scheme to send those “Shiksha Mitra”, who are graduates, for the two years Diploma in Elementary Education (D.L.Ed.), but the names of the petitioners have not been sent. Learned standing counsel submitted that names of the petitioners have not been sent for doing the Diploma in Elementary Education for the reason that perhaps the petitioners were not graduates at that time. Learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that the petitioners have done their graduation prior to issuance of Government Order dated 24.08.2011. With these set of facts, the matter is sent to the Principal, District Education and Training Institute, Narendra Nagar, Tehri Garhwal to consider the case of the petitioners and in case the petitioners fulfill all the requisite requirements, without any further delay the names of the petitioners may be sent for two years Diploma in Elementary Education (D.L.Ed.), in case the petitioners are otherwise eligible including graduation. With the aforesaid observation, the writ petition is disposed of finally. 2 No order as to costs. Let a certified copy of this order be given today itself on payment of usual charges.
