Teachers Stage 'Dandavat Yatra' On Bhopal Streets; Demand Long-Pending Appointments-- VIDEO

Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): Teacher aspirants staged a protest on the streets of Bhopal on Monday, demanding the completion of the appointment process for Class 2 and Class 3 teaching posts.

The protesters said the selection process was completed in 2025, but appointments have still not been made.

Many aspirants, who have been protesting for months, expressed frustration over the delay.

In videos from the protest, several participants marching in groups while raising slogans.

One protester said that no one was listening to their concerns and that many candidates come from poor and working-class families. Another said, "You release the vacancies, we are ready," while others claimed that recruitment exams had been conducted but jobs had not been provided.

In response, the association has decided to submit memorandums through district collectors to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan on June 18.

Some protesters also demanded better pay and raised concerns about increasing age limits affecting candidates waiting for appointments.

During the demonstration, protesters shouted slogans such as "Bharat Mata Ki Jai" and "Vande Mataram." Police personnel were present at the site and were seen moving with the crowd to maintain order.

Meanwhile, the Madhya Pradesh Teachers' Association has also opposed the requirement of making the Teacher Eligibility Test (TET) mandatory for teachers appointed before 2010. The association said applying rules made later to teachers already in service is unfair and against the principles of natural justice.

Association leaders said a recent Supreme Court judgment on May 29, 2026, created confusion among teachers across the country by making TET mandatory for those teaching Classes 1 to 8.
