Jamshedpur: The Jharkhand Primary Teachers’ Association, East Singhbhum, held a meeting on Sunday to discuss the pending promotions of teachers in the district. The meeting was presided over by the district president of the association, Arun Kumar Singh.

The meeting expressed concern over the delay in promotions to grades 3, 4, and 7. The teachers said that despite the guidelines issued by the Department of School Education and Literacy, Ranchi, three months ago, the department has been slow in granting promotions.

The teachers have also submitted their claims and objections, but the revised seniority list has not been published yet. It is worth noting that there is not a single headmaster working in the district, which makes it a mockery to talk about quality education.

The association has appealed to the department officials to expedite all pending promotions, failing which the teachers will be forced to protest.

The meeting also decided to organize the association’s annual picnic-cum-milan samaroh on February 24 at the Adivasi Association Hall, Sitamaramdera, Jamshedpur. On the occasion, it was decided to felicitate the teachers who retired in the academic year 2023-24 and to publish the association’s annual calendar.

The meeting was attended by Arun Kumar, Singarai Kisku, Rajendra Kumar Karn, Tipperu Tiyu, Rabindra Murmu, Ramakant Shukla, Sudhir Chandra Murmu, Manju Kumari, Shivaji Singh, Bagun Patur, Shahid Iqbal, Anil Bihari, Chandrabhal Jha, Gyanranjan, Shekhar Kumar, Balram Prasad, Ramjit Bhagat, Rajesh Sinha, Santosh Sharma, Sujit Mishra, Anil Kumar Singh, Arun Dutt, Dilip Sarkar and other teachers.

A varied range of leaders, academics, and practitioners from around the world convened at the XLRI campus for the conference. They were all motivated to promote ethical behaviour in the business sector and beyond.

The opening remarks of the conference emphasised the crucial role that ethical leadership plays in creating a more equitable and sustainable world, setting a contemplative and aspirational tone.

The foundational values of the JRD Tata Foundation for Business Ethics and XLRI were emphasised by the messages from Fr. George, SJ (Director of XLRI), Fr. Jerry Coutinha, SJ (Jesuit Provincial), and Fr. Donald D’Silva, SJ (Dean Admin-Finance at XLRI). These messages emphasised the significance of community, compassion, and commitment in leadership.

Prominent attendees such as Amit Raj Sinha, MD and CEO of Sigachi Industries Limited, Hyderabad, and Soni Sinha, Chief Ethics Officer of Tata Steel, offered priceless insights into the real-world application of ethics in business.

Soni Sinha promotes morality for upcoming leaders
Soni’s talk about Tata Steel’s ethics policy served as an example of how businesses may consistently live up to moral standards.

She advised the next generation of leaders to live moral lives and to take responsibility for their actions both at home and at work.

She cited JRD Tata, who said, “No success or achievement in material terms is worthwhile unless it is achieved by fair and honest means and serves the needs or interests of the country and its people.”

ESG integration and moral decision-making are priorities for Amit Raj Sinha.
A strategy for ingraining ethical behaviour into corporate culture was provided by Sinha’s emphasis on decision-making ethics and the incorporation of ESG factors.

He focused on the moral conundrums that every person and business encounters and offered advice on how to handle them in an ethical manner.

He challenged the leaders to understand the purpose of their own lives as well as the industry’s, drawing on the three pillars of the golden circle: What, How, and Why.

“For every business entrepreneur, figuring out their purpose and living up to it is essential,” he continued. Our sense of culture and community, rather than our intelligence or flexibility, is the main reason humans have continued to flourish and expand.

He challenged the attendees and professionals to have a positive impact on our community by working hard, being devoted, and acting morally.

A diverse range of paper presentations were presented throughout the conference, encompassing subjects such as corporate governance, ethics in higher education, green technology innovation, and ethical AI applications.
