The Uttar Pradesh government has granted age relaxation to shikshamitras (para-teachers) for the recruitment of 11,508 assistant teacher posts. The decision, based on a court order, was announced through an official order and detailed guidelines issued by the state administration.

The shikshamitra union had been demanding this concession for a long time. The relaxation will allow eligible shikshamitras to participate in the ongoing recruitment process, providing them significant relief.
The government's decision, prompted by a court order, directly addresses a long-standing demand of the shikshamitra union, who had been agitating for this age concession. While the official order clears the way for 11,508 posts, the detailed guidelines will determine how many of the existing shikshamitras actually benefit from the relaxation, as eligibility criteria and the application process will now be the focus for candidates.
The relief is limited to this specific recruitment drive, leaving the broader question of regularisation of shikshamitras unresolved.
