Bilaspur: In an important development in the ongoing teacher recruitment rows in Chhattisgarh, the High Court has ordered a fresh counseling process, including those applying for the B.Ed as well as the D.El.Ed (Diploma of Elementary Education) yet unspecified in their applications. Recruitment counseling for the D.El.Ed admits he is scheduled to begin on February 10.
The Chhattisgarh government has also been asked by the court to respond in four weeks on this issue. Earlier, keeping in view the directions of the Supreme Court and the High Court, the state government had put in a list of 2,855 D.El.Ed candidates for recruitment. It had given the government 15 days to comply with the order after the High Court. According to this, the state administration has subsequently ordered the termination of the services of B.Ed qualified teachers and to take recourse to the recruitment of D.El.Ed candidates through counseling.
But petitioner Swati Devangan and several others, who were B.Ed degree holders, moved the High Court again with fresh prayers. They said that they ought to be involved in the counseling process and so had completed their D.El.Ed but forgot to mention it in their first applications. Justice A.K. Prasad considering the petition clarified that the petitioners may appear in the counseling process for D.El.Ed recruitment, but it does not merit the petition.
Now, eligible B.Ed holders who have accomplished D.El.Ed, but wasn’t earlier mentioned, can participate in the recruitment process from February 10. This decision is important to many candidates who were excluded for technical reasons.
