Shimla: Education Minister Rohit Thakur chaired a meeting of the Education department here today and stated that the state government has distributed tablets to approximately 9,287 meritorious students. He stated that the department would soon fill 19 posts of instructors, 374 posts of Assistant Professors and 3,100 posts of teachers for the new CBSE affiliated schools scheduled to commence operations from the academic session 2027-28. The Himachal Pradesh Rajya Chayan Ayog has been directed to expedite the recruitment process.
