The Story in Brief
Teaching job aspirants in Uttar Pradesh will run a social media campaign on August 16 to press the State government to issue a recruitment notification for primary school teachers. The aspirants allege that no major recruitment drive has been held at the primary level in over five years, leaving lakhs of eligible candidates waiting for appointments.
The campaign, which organisers say will target 10 million posts on X, seeks a time-bound schedule for completing the appointment process. Vijay Pratap, an aspirant from Prayagraj, said the government had repeatedly indicated recruitment would happen but no notification had been issued. The Congress has backed the campaign, with national secretary Abhishek Dutt accusing the BJP government of failing to provide jobs to the State's youth.
The Indian Opinion
The campaign is a reminder that election promises on jobs mean little without a timeline. The government cannot keep lakhs of D.El.Ed holders waiting indefinitely while announcing schemes. The test will be whether the October 16 assembly session brings a concrete recruitment calendar. Until then, aspirants' frustration is legitimate, not a political stunt. A date for the notification would settle the matter. Why has it taken five years to count vacancies? That is the question the State must answer.
