Jamshedpur: The Jharkhand Viklang Manch (JVM), a state body of physically challenged people, claimed that govt school teachers are fraudulently obtaining disability certificates to seek transfer to their home districts.
The delegation met education minister Ramdas Soren at his house in Ghorabandha and submitted a memorandum to him demanding a probe into the matter.
"Altogether 20 teachers obtained the 45 per cent disability certificate to fulfill the benchmark criteria as per the Rights of Persons With Disability (RPDA) Act 2016 to seek transfer to their home districts in Santhal Pargana," said Arun Kumar Singh, president, JVM. He said that out of the 20 teachers, 16 were found to be 100% fit, and the remaining four teachers were detected with 25% disability, which does not qualify for the disability criteria as per the RPDA Act.
"After the matter came to the knowledge of the district education department in June, the teachers were asked to appear before the ENT and ophthalmologist panel for examination in July, wherein the teachers got exposed," Singh claimed.
The minister assured the delegation to get the matter probed to ensure proper action.
Civil surgeon, Dr Sahir Pall, said that the experts panel at Jamshedpur Sadar Hospital conducted the ENT and eye test of the doctors.
District education officer Manoj Kumar did not respond to repeated calls made to enquire about the claim of the association.

Jharkhand Education Minister Ramdas Soren has been critically injured after slipping and falling in the bathroom on Saturday, Cabinet minister Irfan Ansari said. As per an official note shared by Ansari, Soren suffered a serious brain injury and blood clot, and is being airlifted to Delhi's Apollo Hospital for emergency treatment. Ansari, who holds the Health, Food Supply and Disaster Management portfolios in the Jharkhand government, posted an appeal for prayers, saying, 'Our companion, a true supporter of the poor and a strong voice of the Adivasi society, Education Minister Ramdas Soren's condition suddenly worsened. He has suffered a serious brain injury and blood clot after a fall in the bathroom. I am in constant touch and monitoring his situation. I request you all from the heart to pray for his speedy recovery.' Meanwhile, in the midst of rising speculation and reports, Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) spokesperson Tanuj Khatri urged the public and press to exercise restraint and wait for information from official channels. 'It is not right to speculate at this moment. The minister's condition is extremely serious, but no official statement has been issued by the party or the government. The media and citizens should refrain from spreading unverified news,' he said. Soren's condition deteriorated at the Jamshedpur hospital where he was undergoing treatment. He was later airlifted to the national capital for advanced treatment. Adding to this, the Deputy Commissioner of Jamshedpur, Karn Satyarthi, condemned false reports suggesting the minister's death.

Just five minutes ago, I confirmed with people who are present with him. He has left the airport and is on his way to Apollo Hospital in Delhi. he should be reaching there any moment now. I urge everyone, especially media platforms, to refrain from spreading unverified information. As of now, the minister is alive and undergoing treatment,' said Satyarthi.
