A very big and historic news is coming from Ranchi, the capital of Jharkhand, for the youth of the entire state. The patience and struggle of thousands of students who have been continuously protesting on the streets for the last 24 days has finally paid off. Bowing to the massive protests and increasing pressure of the students, the Hemant Soren government of the state has taken a big and bold decision to completely cancel the graduate level combined competitive examination of JSSC-CGL i.e. Jharkhand Staff Selection Commission, which is surrounded by controversies. Along with this decision, the government has also announced that other major competitive examinations conducted in the last few years will also be investigated at a high level, so that the future of any youth cannot be played with in the future. As soon as this news came out, there was a wave of happiness among the agitating students and they are considering it as a historic victory. Let us know the whole story behind this entire struggle and this big decision of the government.
24 days great movement and unbroken struggle of students
The youth of Jharkhand were on the streets for the last 24 days against the continuous rigging in examinations, paper leak cases and corruption. Despite severe cold, rain and various administrative hurdles, the students camped at Morhabadi ground and other important places in the capital Ranchi. From social media to streets, the echo of this movement was heard across the country. The demand of the students was very clear that a CBI or judicial inquiry should be conducted into the alleged irregularities in the JSSC-CGL examination and strictest action should be taken against the guilty officials. With the support of various political parties and the unity of student organizations, this movement took the form of a mass movement. Ultimately, this stubbornness of the students and their disciplined struggle bore fruit and the government was forced to bow down.
Big step of Hemant government: JSSC-CGL exam canceled and high level inquiry ordered
In view of the prolonged meetings with the student delegation and the growing discontent across the state, Chief Minister Hemant Sarkar understood the seriousness of the situation and called a high-level emergency meeting. It was unanimously decided in the meeting that the JSSC-CGL examination is canceled with immediate effect. Along with this, the government also announced that not only this examination, but other examinations on which questions have been raised in the recent past, will also be thoroughly investigated so that not even a single guilty person can escape. This step of the government is being seen as a big attempt to regain the lost trust among the youth. It has also been assured by the Chief Minister’s Office that in the coming days, new examinations will be conducted with complete transparency, in which any kind of negligence will not be tolerated.
Festive atmosphere among the youth, new hopes for the future
As soon as the government announced the cancellation of JSSC-CGL exams and ordered an investigation, thousands of students present at the protest site started celebrating by hugging each other and distributing sweets. The students welcomed their victory with slogans of ‘Jharkhand’s Youth Zindabad’ and ‘Our Unity Zindabad’. While talking to the media, many students said that this victory is not just theirs but of every youth of Jharkhand who wants to stand on their own feet on the strength of hard work and honesty. However, the students also say that they are not satisfied with the mere cancellation of the exams, rather they want the government to announce new exam dates as soon as possible and strict legal action should be taken against the culprits so that such incidents are not repeated in future.
Administrative reforms and new guidelines for future examinations
After this entire incident, there is a lot of pressure on the Jharkhand government and its administrative staff to completely revamp their examination system. Clear instructions have been given to the officials of the state education department and the commission that strict security and confidentiality arrangements should be made for all future competitive examinations. The entire process from selection of examination centers to printing and distribution of question papers will be made digital and transparent so that no anti-social element or gang can break into it. This incident is also a lesson for the youth of Jharkhand and it proves that if the youth unite and fight peacefully for their rights, then they have the power to change even the biggest system.
