Assam’s education system has seen a major shift as the state government has reinstated the old Drawing and Disbursing Officer (DDO) salary mechanism for teachers under the School Education Department. This move follows widespread dissatisfaction among educators who had been affected by changes in the payment system, which had led to delays and discrepancies in salary disbursements. The decision aims to address long-standing grievances and restore financial stability for teachers, marking a significant policy reversal. The restoration of the previous system is expected to bring immediate relief to those directly impacted by the earlier adjustments.
