KOHIMA — Following the decision to temporarily suspend its protest, the All Nagaland Ad hoc Teachers’ Group (ANATG), 2015 batch, submitted its points of demand to the state government on Monday.
In a letter addressed to the principal director of School Education, the ANATG stated that after prolonged deliberations and in “good faith” in the authorities, it had decided to temporarily suspend the protest with certain conditions.
The group stated “that all alternative arrangements, procedures and processes for the regularisation of ANATG 2015 members be completed on or before June 30, 2026.”
It further demanded that 10 members from ANATG be deputed to assist the department in documentation and sorting of records pertaining to the group, as assured earlier by the department.

“That, as communicated to ANATG by your authority vide letter No. ED/ADMN/ASSOP/2025 dated February 12, 2026, the legitimate demands of ANATG are under active consideration and that the government has already initiated action to meet the demands of the ANATG 2015 batch; prioritisation of ANATG members be ensured both in letter and spirit,” it stated.
The group cautioned that failure to address the regularisation issue within the stipulated timeframe would compel it to resume democratic protest in a more intensified manner.

The ANATG also informed that its general body meetings held on February 20 and 21 acknowledged and honoured the department’s written assurance to work out an alternative solution to the issue of incomplete documents, and to depute a special officer or team exclusively to deal with ANATG matters and facilitate submission of additional documents, as communicated to the group through a written communication on February 19.
A core committee member on Monday said that the ANATG effectively put its agitation on hold from February 21.
He said that if the issue does not move forward as expected, the members would be compelled to launch another round of protest in a more intensified manner.
“We have been waiting for too long,” the member observed, adding that ANATG members are among the longest-serving ad hoc teachers.
He expressed discouragement over the prolonged delay in resolving the issue but said he remained hopeful that the teachers would overcome the impasse and that the government would soon address their demands.
The ANATG 2015 batch, comprising 1,166 ad hoc teachers appointed between 1994 and 2012 across the state, had staged a sit-in in Kohima for 13 days beginning February 4, demanding service regularisation.
