The inquiry report, sent by the Ramnagar board’s chief administrative officer to the district education office, highlights that the teacher’s actual marks were 54 out of 150 in the standard record, rendering the candidate ineligible for appointment. The department has issued a show-cause notice requiring the teacher to appear with original documents on September 11, 2026, to provide a formal explanation. If the response is unsatisfactory or the party fails to appear, the Uttarakhand Government Servants Rules provide for immediate termination of service.
This is not the first time the district has uncovered forged UTET credentials. Earlier investigations identified 9 teachers from the Bhojoy block areas of Bagheswar and Kapkot whose UTET certificates were found to be fake. The ongoing drive aims to purge ineligible personnel and ensure compliance with certified recruitment standards.
Conclusion
The authorities are pursuing corrective action against those involved in submitting forged UTET documents, with show-cause procedures in progress for the Sasola case. The broader aim is to safeguard staffing integrity in district schools and prevent future irregularities.
