The patience of unemployed youth of Jharkhand and students preparing for competitive examinations now seems to be paying off slowly. Fed up with the continuous leaking of question papers in the state for the last several years, the recruitment processes hanging in the balance, the endless delays in the JPSC and JSSC examinations, the candidates have now taken to the streets and announced an all-out fight. In this series, a special Chhatra Nyay Yatra, which is being taken out across the state demanding employment and transparent recruitment reforms, reached the historical and cultural city of Jamtara during its journey. On reaching Jamtara, the Yatra was warmly welcomed by the local youth and student organizations, after which a huge public meeting and protest was organized there, in which the huge anger of the youth against the policies of the government came out openly.
Crowd of students gathered in Jamtara, young leaders attacked the government
As soon as this Chhatra Nyay Yatra entered the land of Jamtara district, thousands of competitive students and unemployed youth gathered there. Addressing the gathering, student leaders and candidates made sharp attacks on the Hemant Soren government of the state and alleged that after coming to power contrary to the election promises, the youth have received only false assurances. Speakers said that today the youth of Jharkhand are forced to stumble from door to door with degrees in hand, because the selection commission institutions here have proved to be a complete failure in conducting examinations. Sometimes the precious years of the youth are being wasted due to paper leak and sometimes due to court cases, due to which their future is in deep danger.
Allegations of playing with the future of youth and serious administrative negligence
Candidates say that there is a complete lack of transparency in the appointments made through reputed institutions like JPSC and JSSC. The process from the release of advertisements to the declaration of final results is so long and complicated that a student’s youth goes away just before appearing for the exam. The youth protesting in Jamtara expressed their anger and said that if the state government really claims to be well-wishers of the youth, then it should complete all the pending examinations with transparency within a given time-frame and take strict action against the officials involved in corruption. The students have warned that if their demands are ignored soon, this movement will not be limited to Jamtara only, but will spread like wildfire to every corner of Jharkhand.
Future bleak without employment and transparent policies
This journey of these young candidates of Jharkhand is a clear message that the youth of the state have now become aware of their rights and are in no mood to tolerate the slowness of the system any more. This movement based on basic issues like education and employment can also deeply influence the politics of the state in the coming times. Unless the government implements concrete and accountable recruitment policies, this dissatisfaction of the youth will not seem to stop. This loud voice raised from Jamtara has once again proved that the youth of Jharkhand is no longer going to sit silent, but is ready to fight for their rights with full strength from the streets to the House.
