Nitish plans fresh round of teacher hirings before poll
Ahead of the Assembly poll later this year, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Wednesday asked the Education Department to lay the ground for the fourth instalment of the Teacher Recruitment Exam (TRE) by the Bihar Public Service Commission. 'I have instructed the Education Department to immediately count the vacancies for teachers in government schools and take action to conduct the TRE-4 examination for appointments as soon as possible,' he posted on X. In January, Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary had announced that more than 80,000 teachers will be recruited in the fourth phase of TRE and with around 20,000 posts being carried over from TRE-3, the total number of vacancies will touch 1 lakh. Mr. Kumar's instructions on Wednesday come on the back of a renewed push for job creation with polls on the horizon. On Tuesday, the Bihar Cabinet gave its nod for the creation of 1 crore jobs and 'employment opportunities' in the State over the next five years. The Chief Minister had recently also announced that over 10 lakh youth and 39 lakh people overall have been provided government jobs. 'Election slogan' Reacting to the Chief Minister's announcement, Opposition Rashtriya Janata Dal spokesperson Chitaranjan Gagan termed it 'a mere election slogan'. 'He is still asking for vacancies from the Education Department when the government already has the data. More than 3 lakh teacher posts are vacant in Bihar. If the Chief Minister's intentions are clear, he should immediately issue a notification for recruitment with domicile and start the process of recruitment,' Mr. Gagan said, predicting that the process will get stuck in the model code of conduct likely to be imposed when the Election Commission announces dates for the Assembly election.

Nitish orders teacher vacancy count in state
Patna: CM Nitish Kumar on Wednesday announced that he has asked the education department to immediately assess the number of vacant teaching posts in govt schools so that recruitment can begin without delay. Significantly, for the first time, Bihar's domicile policy will be enforced during the recruitment process for the 35% of teaching posts reserved exclusively for women. Only women who are residents of Bihar will now be eligible for this quota, following a recent cabinet decision chaired by the chief minister. "We have asked the education department to immediately start the counting of vacancies on teachers' posts in govt schools and also start the process for making recruitments on them by conducting the teachers' recruitment examination (TRE-4.0)," the CM wrote on his social media handle. "The state govt had earlier made it clear that 35% of the posts will be reserved for women and this quota benefit will be only for women who are residents of Bihar," he added. In earlier recruitment drives conducted through the TRE process by the Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC), the 35% quota had been availed by women from outside Bihar. Under the revised policy, such candidates will now have to compete under the general category. So far, around 3.25 lakh teachers have been appointed through the first three TRE examinations. However, it is understood that nearly 20,000 posts remained unfilled after TRE-3.0. The upcoming TRE-4.0, to be conducted by the BPSC, is expected to fill around 50,000 teaching vacancies. The recruitment will cover posts in primary (classes I-V), middle (classes VI-VIII), secondary (classes IX-X) and higher secondary (classes XI-XII) schools. The CM's move to accelerate teacher recruitment and assert the domicile policy is being viewed as an opportunity for unemployed teaching aspirants in Bihar. It is also seen as a political response aimed at neutralising persistent demands that govt appointments should prioritise state residents.
