With the BJP on the back foot over Bihar’s caste-based survey, the Janata Dal-United JD(U) supremo and Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar-led State government is set to achieve another milestone ahead of next year’s Lok Sabha elections by distributing job letters to 1.22 lakh newly recruited teachers as part of its commitment to provide 10 lakh jobs. A high profile event is being organised at Gandhi Maidan, historic venue of political rallies in Bihar, on November 2, when 25,000 candidates will gather to receive their recruitment letters in the presence of Mr. Kumar, Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Prasad Yadav, and other State Cabinet Ministers.
Earlier, all 1.22 lakh appointees were expected to gather for the event but the Education Department subsequently issued a new direction that the remaining 97,000 teachers would receive their appointment letters in their respective districts via video conferencing on the same day.
The Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) carried out the teachers’ recruitment for Classes 1 to 5 (primary), and Classes 9 to 12 (higher secondary).
