My name is Avdhesh kumar Sahu. I am calling from village Pandutarai in Rajnandgaon district of Chhattisgarh. I work as a para teacher in a higher secondary school. Our payment is so low that it is very difficult to take care of my wife and two children. We have done many agitations and after that govt makes many promises but none have been fulfilled. I request all of you to put pressure on the govt to increase the salary of para teachers. For more Sahu Ji can be reached at 08349338277
