Teachers' eligibility test (TET) students end 11-day fast


Teachers' eligibility test (TET) students end 11-day fast


RANCHI: The successful candidates of teachers' eligibility test (TET) held in July 2011 whose appointments were cancelled by the Jharkhand high court in November 2011 ended their 11-day fast on Saturday after HRD minister Baidyanath Ram met them and assured them of a solution.

The successful candidates of the examination were demonstrating at Birsa Chowk since August 28, when the monsoon session of the assembly started. Out of the total number of people demonstrating, six were fasting and three of them had to be hospitalized


Chiarperson of Jharkhand TET Successful Candidates Association, Kunda Mandal said, "We have been selected in the TET examination but we were not given appointment letters due to the mistake of the department. It is not our fault if the state does not have a TET regulation. Then why should we, who have worked hard to pass, suffer?"

After the results of TET examination were declared, the unsuccessful candidates filed a petition in the Jharkhand high court claiming that the examination conducted was unfair, following which the high court cancelled the appointment of the 8042 successful candidates. 

After the students went on fast for 11 days, Ram finally met them on Saturday and asked them to break their fast. Ram convinced the candidates that he will look into the matter and come up with a solution soon. "We will take legal help and try to find out a way to give these candidates their job," said Ram
