Teacher aspirants who cleared the selection exam and topped the merit list staged a sit‑in on the board office junction in Bhopal, demanding their appointments be processed.
A group of class‑3 teacher candidates, who successfully cleared the state recruitment exam and appeared on the merit list, gathered at the board office intersection in Bhopal to protest the delay in their appointments. The protestors sat on the road, rang metal plates and maintained a silent sit‑in, signalling their dissatisfaction with the administrative inaction.
The demonstration, which began on the first day of the protest, continued into its third day, with participants insisting that the government issue appointment letters and allow them to join schools without further delay. Organisers emphasized that the candidates had fulfilled all eligibility criteria and were entitled to the positions for which they were selected.
Authorities have not yet issued a formal response, but the continued presence of the protestors underscores growing frustration among qualified teachers awaiting employment. The sit‑in aims to pressure the education department to expedite the appointment process and honour the merit‑based selections.
The protest remains peaceful, with no reports of violence or arrests. Candidates have called for swift resolution so that schools can fill vacant teaching posts and maintain regular academic schedules.
The situation is being monitored by local media and education officials, who are expected to address the grievances in the coming days.
