Alleged reservation scam in 69 thousand teacher recruitment

Candidates alleging reservation scam in assistant teacher recruitment in Uttar Pradesh are on the road. In Lucknow, from the Chief Minister's residence to the Basic Education Minister's house, the candidates are demonstrating everyday. Let us know what is the demand of these candidates and why they are claiming scam in reservation on reserved seats of OBC-SC category.

When there was Akhilesh government in Uttar Pradesh, then 1 lakh 37 thousand Shikshamitras were accommodated as assistant teachers. After this the matter reached the Supreme Court and the adjustment was quashed. That is, the Shikshamitras who had been made assistant teachers by the Akhilesh government, they again became Shikshamitras.

Now the question arises that where did the talk of the alleged reservation scam in 69 thousand recruitment come from? The biggest reason behind this is - Basic Education Rules 1981. The agitating candidates say that it is clear in this rule that if a candidate of OBC category gets more marks than the cutoff of unreserved category, then he/she will not from OBC quota but from unreserved category. I will get a job. That is, it will not be counted in the purview of reservation.

From here the screw of recruitment of 69 thousand teachers gets entangled. In fact, the agitating candidates claim that in 69 thousand teacher recruitment, the OBC class got only 3.86% reservation instead of 27%, that is, the OBC class got only 2637 seats out of 18598 seats. While the government says that about 31 thousand OBC people have been appointed.
