By SANTOSH MOHANTY

The Parents Teachers Committee (PTC) is an interactive forum with the motto to build a healthy relationship between parents, teachers and students as well, Angul Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya (JNV) Principal  Arati Pattanayak said.

Addressing the first ever PTC meeting after the Covid pandemic at JNV campus in Champatimunda in Angul district, Ms Pattanayak said this' forum is not meant for blaming each other and go on a  complaining spree but giving valuable suggestions for the wellbeing of inmates for boosting their intellectual growth.

Worthwhile to mention here that parents have been demanding the formation of such a PTC meet since a year and the authorities were delaying it for reasons best known to them. The latest PTC meet has brought cheers among the parents and they have become thankful to the management that the two-way communicative forum would be helpful for their wards in JNV.

Pattanayak said she will do her utmost for academic excellence at Angul JNV, but feared that ' there might be a shortage of teaching staff in the coming days and more and more teachers will be recruited on contractual basis '. She, however, allayed the apprehension that the study atmosphere will not suffer due such a problem and the science faculty is being expanded.

Librarian  Bibhuti Ranjan Mishra dwelt upon the motto and the spirit behind the formation of PTC and said misconceptions still exist in the minds of parents as well as their wards in the relatively interior regions of Angul district about JNV admission, eligibility and selection test. The PTC members must come forward to address these issues and educate and aware parents, wards on this score, Mishra said and added that they have equally important role to play on maintaining socio-economic data of parents, counselling of students, healthcare and other activities of JNV.

While Sudiptarani Biswal introduced the guests to the audience, P K Das (Maths) brought home the basic tenets of parents-teachers interaction that augurs well for its success . S K Behera(Odia TGT) proposed the vote of thanks. The PTC meet also selected new members for the session. A large number of parents and guardians had attended the meet.
