The Minister asked the untrained teachers to get registered for the training programs which has been made compulsory for all untrained teachers. Those who did not enroll for the training program will lose their job by March 2019, he said.
The under-graduate and graduate teachers have to register themselves on the web portal of National Institute of Open Schooling (www.nios.ac.in) where they can get the course learning free of cost.
