BJP national general secretary and Karimnagar MP Bandi Sanjay Kumar, on Sunday, lashed out at the BRS Government accusing it of failing to ensure proper conduct of the Group-I preliminary re-exam and playing with the future of lakhs of unemployed youths.
In a statement issued in Karimnagar late on Sunday evening, Mr. Sanjay alleged that the BRS regime gained notoriety for its callous apathy towards the unemployed youths.
“It has failed to fill a single post through Group-I recruitment in the last nine years of its rule,” he charged, alleging that the TSPSC shattered the hopes of lakhs of job aspirants due to its failure to conduct even the Group-I prelims re-exam properly.
He said, “The BRS regime should immediately pay ₹1 lakh compensation to each candidate, who appeared for the Group-I preliminary exam, relax the age limit and conduct the exam in a fool-proof and transparent manner. The promised unemployment allowance should be disbursed to each jobless youth in the State forthwith.”
“Writing, in general, is a very solitary process,” says Yauvanika Chopra, Associate Director at The New India Foundation (NIF), which, earlier this year, announced the 12th edition of its NIF Book Fellowships for research and scholarship about Indian history after Independence. While authors, in general, are built for it, it can still get very lonely, says Chopra, pointing out that the fellowship’s community support is as valuable as the monetary benefits it offers. “There is a solid community of NIF fellows, trustees, language experts, jury members, all of whom are incredibly competent,” she says. “They really help make authors feel supported from manuscript to publication, so you never feel like you’re struggling through isolation.”
Several principals of government and private schools in Delhi on Tuesday said the Directorate of Education (DoE) circular from a day earlier, directing schools to conduct classes in ‘hybrid’ mode, had caused confusion regarding day-to-day operations as they did not know how many students would return to school from Wednesday and how would teachers instruct in two modes — online and in person — at once. The DoE circular on Monday had also stated that the option to “exercise online mode of education, wherever available, shall vest with the students and their guardians”. Several schoolteachers also expressed confusion regarding the DoE order. A government schoolteacher said he was unsure of how to cope with the resumption of physical classes, given that the order directing government offices to ensure that 50% of the employees work from home is still in place. On Monday, the Commission for Air Quality Management in the National Capital Region and Adjoining Areas (CAQM) had, on the orders of the Supreme Court, directed schools in Delhi-NCR to shift classes to the hybrid mode, following which the DoE had issued the circular. The court had urged the Centre’s pollution watchdog to consider restarting physical classes due to many students missing out on the mid-day meals and lacking the necessary means to attend classes online. The CAQM had, on November 20, asked schools in Delhi-NCR to shift to the online mode of teaching.
