Mamata Banerjee Announces 30% Reservation for Untainted Teachers, Alternative Jobs for Tainted, and New Group-C & D Exams

Mamata Banerjee: The state government is trying to show a new direction for the teachers and non-teaching staff who have lost their jobs. Recently, the state’s Chief Minister, Mamata Banerjee, highlighted the government’s humane approach to this issue and announced some important plans. This announcement has brought new hope to those who lost their jobs. Let’s find out more about the government’s new plan in detail.

A Golden Opportunity for Untainted Teachers

The government has taken special measures for those who lost their jobs despite being qualified. Keeping their age and experience in mind, the government is considering implementing some new rules.

  • Recognition of Experience: For teachers who have served for 10-12 years, a consideration of an additional 10% marks for their experience is being discussed.
  • Reserved Seats: About 30% of the seats will be reserved for these teachers. While direct reinstatement is not possible due to court orders, they can re-apply through examinations to prove their eligibility and return to their jobs.

New Avenues for Group C and Group D Staff

Along with the teachers, the government is also thinking about the Group C and Group D employees who have lost their jobs.

  • New Examinations: After the teacher recruitment process is completed, new examinations for Group C and Group D posts will be conducted within the next two to three months.
  • Evaluation of Experience: The Chief Secretary has been requested to consider how to legally recognize the experience of those who have worked for 10-12 years. The government is also ensuring that they are not disadvantaged due to their age.

Alternative Arrangements for ‘Tainted’ Teachers

The government is also considering the cases of those against whom allegations of ineligibility have been proven, with a humane approach.

  • Considering Alternative Posts: Due to court directives, it is not possible to reinstate them in teaching positions. However, the possibility of appointing them to Group C or equivalent posts is being explored.
  • Legal Consultation: The government is consulting with lawyers before making a final decision on this matter and an announcement is expected soon.

This step by the government proves that it is looking at the entire issue from a humanitarian, not a political, perspective. This sympathetic attitude of the government towards those who have lost their jobs is undoubtedly commendable. It remains to be seen how successfully these plans are implemented in the coming days.
