Nitish Kumar asks education department to speed up recruitment of teachers
Ahead of the assembly election, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Wednesday asked the Education Department to count the vacant post in the government school to conduct the Teachers Recruitment Test 4 (TRE-4) so that recruitment of teachers could be done as soon as possible. Mr. Kumar asserted that the state government has already clarified that the benefit of 35% reservation for women in recruitment will be given only to women domiciles in Bihar. The Bihar Cabinet on July 8, 2025 made domicile mandatory for accessing the 35% reservation for women in State government jobs. Previously, women from outside Bihar could also benefit from the reservation policy, which was introduced by the State government in 2016. Mr. Kumar posted a message on social media platform 'X' saying, '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.' हमने शिक्षा विभाग को कहा है कि सरकारी विद्यालयों में शिक्षकों की रिक्तियों की गणना तुरंत कर ली जाए और इस पर नियुक्ति के लिए TRE 4 की परीक्षा शीघ्र लेने की कार्रवाई की जाए। राज्य सरकार ने पहले ही स्पष्ट कर दिया है कि नियुक्तियों में 35 प्रतिशत महिलाओं के लिए आरक्षण का लाभ बिहार की… — Nitish Kumar (@NitishKumar) July 16, 2025 In January, Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary had announced that more than 80,000 teachers are going to be appointed in the fourth phase of TRE before the assembly election. He had also said that around 20,000 vacant posts were left in TRE-3 and these posts would be included in TRE-4 which means at least 1 lakh posts are vacant. Keeping the assembly election in mind, Mr. Kumar has given special attention to the jobs and recruitment. On July 15 itself, the Bihar cabinet gave its nod for creation of new one crore jobs and employment opportunities in the state over the next five years. Recently, Mr. Kumar had announced so far, over 10 lakh youth in the state have been provided with government jobs, and approximately 39 lakh people have been given employment. Opposition Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) spokesperson Chitaranjan Gagan termed the announcement of Chief Minister to conduct TRE-4 for teacher recruitment as a mere election slogan. 'He still asking for vacancies from the education department whereas the government already has the data of vacancies available. More than 3 lakh teacher posts are vacant in Bihar. If the Chief Minister's intentions are clear for teacher recruitment, then he will have to immediately issue a notification for recruitment with domicile and start the process of recruitment,'Mr. Gagan said. He further said, 'The Chief Minister suddenly remembered TRE-4 when half of July has passed and the announcement of Bihar assembly elections is going to be made in the next one and a half months. According to the working style of the NDA government, even if the notification is issued now, it will get stuck in the model code of conduct (MCC).'

The Chief Minister had recently also announced that over 10 lakh youth and 39 lakh people overall have been provided government jobs.

Police lathicharge BPSC aspirants protesting outside CM Nitish Kumar's residence in Patna
Protesters demanding release of the supplementary results of Bihar Public Service Commission's (BPSC) teacher recruitment exam (TRE-3) were lathicharged outside Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's official residence on Tuesday after they allegedly attempted to break the barricades in the high-security VVIP area. An official said repeated requests were made for the protesters to vacate the area and that police resorted to 'mild lathicharge' when the protesters tried to breach the restricted area. Protesters said several were injured in the lathicharge, including women. Police, however, denied claims of serious injuries. The protest, which has been going on for months, is against the delays in realising the TRE-3 supplementary results, along with alleged irregularities, including form rejections, duplicate names in published results and a lack of transparency in the recruitment process. This wasn't the first flare-up in the protest. Aspirants staged a 50-day protest earlier this year at Gardanibagh, which ended with promises from BPSC officials to address concerns. But the supplementary results were not released. The TRE-3, held in July 2024 to fill 89,581 posts for primary, middle, and secondary school teachers, has been mired in controversy over transparency, with candidates demanding a review of rejected applications and clarity on unfilled seats. Rashtriya Janata Dal leader and Leader of the Opposition in the Bihar Assembly, Tejashwi Yadav, criticised the government for the police action against the protesters. 'Brutally beating youth who are democratically raising their demands, committing injustice and atrocities, is the main hobby of the Nitish- BJP government. This incompetent government nurtures and protects criminals and corrupt people while it lathicharges students, youth, and the unemployed whenever it feels like it. Everyone will unite this time to change this 20-year-old incompetent, wayward, and useless NDA government, that is certain,' Tejashwi said.

Police baton-charge TRE-3 aspirants protesting near CM's residence in Patna over delay in results
PATNA: Police on Tuesday used baton charge to disperse a group of job aspirants protesting outside Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's official residence, demanding the release of supplementary results for the Teacher Recruitment Examination (TRE-3). Several protestors claimed they were injured in the police lathi-charge and warned of intensifying their agitation if the government failed to meet their demands. The TRE-3 aspirants said they had been protesting for the past four months, but had yet to receive a positive response from the authorities. The situation escalated when the protestors, holding placards and banners, allegedly refused to vacate the prohibited area near the Chief Minister's residence despite repeated instructions from police officials. They instead raised slogans against the state government and the Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC), which conducted the examination. Some protestors reportedly advanced towards the main gate of the Chief Minister's residence, prompting security personnel to intervene and disperse them. Police later used force to clear the crowd, leading to brief chaos in the prohibited zone. The situation was brought under control following the police action. Deepa Singh, a protestor from Siwan, criticised the state government for not releasing the supplementary results of TRE-3. 'We are being treated like anti-social elements. We were holding a peaceful sit-in outside the CM's residence, but the police used force, injuring many,' she told reporters.
