TFP Bureau, Raipur, October 10, 2024 – Dhananjay Singh Thakur, senior spokesperson for the Chhattisgarh State Congress Committee, has urged the state government to promptly address the ongoing recruitment of 35,000 teachers, particularly D.Ed candidates. Thakur’s remarks come amid increasing unrest among youth and educators, who have taken to the streets demanding the government implement court orders related to teacher recruitment.
Thakur criticized the BJP government for fostering a chaotic environment, claiming it has shown a lack of respect for judicial decisions and failed to listen to the concerns of the youth. “The D.Ed candidates are protesting outside the residences of the Chief Minister and Home Minister, resorting to desperate measures such as begging and shaving their heads to draw attention to their plight,” he stated. He noted that the candidates have even resorted to a ‘Jal Satyagraha’—a water-based protest—highlighting the urgent need for government action.
Urgent Need for Teacher Recruitment Process
Thakur emphasized that the government must immediately initiate the recruitment process to alleviate the teacher shortage in schools. He also called for an end to the disputes between B.Ed and D.Ed degree holders, urging the government to implement the honorable court’s decision regarding their employment.
“The current administration appears indifferent to the educational needs of our children and is allowing the shortage of teachers to persist,” Thakur claimed. He accused the government of neglecting its responsibilities and failing to provide quality education, potentially pushing the future of the state’s children into a cycle of illiteracy.
He concluded by questioning whether this lack of action aligns with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s promises of good governance, stating, “The people in power seem to be in a deep slumber while the youth and educators cry out for help.”
