• Exceptional Contribution of Rajiv Yuva Mitan Clubs Recognized

TFP Bureau, Nava Raipur, September 2,2023: In a landmark moment for Chhattisgarh, Lok Sabha Member of Parliament Shri Rahul Gandhi and Chief Minister Shri Bhupesh Baghel joined forces to award appointment letters to 2,000 teachers directly recruited by the School Education Department. This significant event unfolded during the Rajiv Yuva Mitan Sammelan held in Nava Raipur on a memorable Saturday.

As a symbolic gesture, MP Rahul Gandhi and Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel personally presented appointment letters to 20 teachers earmarked for service in the Bastar and Surguja regions. The event also shone a spotlight on the achievements of five Rajiv Yuva Mitan Clubs, who were honored with shawls and shriphal as tokens of appreciation for their exceptional contributions.

This momentous occasion signifies a historical milestone, as it signifies the maiden endeavor of direct teacher recruitment in Chhattisgarh since the state’s inception. The journey toward this accomplishment commenced in March 2019 when the School Education Department issued a notification for the direct recruitment of 14,580 positions, encompassing lecturers and assistant teachers. Impressively, out of the advertised positions, 10,834 candidates have already assumed their roles.

Building on this success, a fresh notification for direct recruitment has recently been unveiled, offering 12,489 openings for lecturers, teachers, and assistant teachers, primarily in the Bastar and Surguja regions. Notably, on August 12, 2023, following the appointment of lecturers, 232 candidates received their appointment letters at the Chief Minister’s residence.

The process of dispatching appointment letters to the remaining 3,449 candidates out of the 5,772 advertised positions is presently underway. The Rajiv Yuva Mitan Sammelan witnessed a remarkable achievement, with 2,000 deserving candidates receiving their appointment letters. This event underlines the state government’s steadfast commitment to enhancing the education sector and providing employment opportunities to qualified individuals.

The Rajiv Yuva Mitan Sammelan not only celebrated the accomplishment of these newly recruited teachers but also acknowledged the indispensable role played by Rajiv Yuva Mitan Clubs in molding Chhattisgarh’s educational landscape. As the state persists in prioritizing education and employment, this initiative symbolizes a promising stride toward a brighter future for both students and aspiring educators in the region.

During his address, MP Rahul Gandhi emphasized the importance of unity among Indians, highlighting the message of love and respect. He recalled conversations with Chhattisgarh’s youth, who identified unemployment as their primary concern. Gandhi applauded Chief Minister Baghel’s initiative to support small entrepreneurs in the state, facilitating their access to bank linkages and marketing. He encouraged the development of infrastructure to position Chhattisgarh as India’s logistics center, connecting the state with both the nation and the world, ultimately boosting employment opportunities and the reach of Chhattisgarh’s products. Gandhi commended the Chhattisgarh government for their commendable efforts in this regard.
