Agartala, December 09, 2024: A large group of unemployed youth gathered in front of the ‘Shiksha Bhavan’ in Agartala city on Monday to protest the delay in the publication of recruitment notifications for TET, STGT and STPGT. The protesters also submitted a deputation to the TRBT Chairman Dr. Pratyush Ranjan Deb demanding immediate action.

“The TET and STGT exams were conducted in 2022, and it’s been two years with no new recruitment process. Despite multiple appeals to the Chief Minister and TRBT, we have received no proper response,” said one of the protesters. They alleged that letters sent to the Chief Minister and the ADC administration have gone unanswered, prompting today’s demonstration.

Many of the protesters are qualified graduates, holding B.Ed or D.Ed degrees. They expressed frustration over the increasing number of B.Ed graduates in the state without job opportunities. “Our numbers are growing, but there is no recruitment process being implemented. The unemployment rate among qualified teachers is rising,” said another protester.

The protesters voiced their demands for the recruitment notification to be published within this month. “We are not asking for charity; we have earned our qualifications and deserve to be given the opportunity to serve,” one of the protest leaders stated.

The protest highlighted the urgent need for government intervention to address the employment crisis among the state’s educated youth. “The state cannot ignore the plight of its qualified yet unemployed youth. Immediate action is needed,” emphasized another demonstrator.

In response to the protest, TRBT Chairman Dr. Pratyush Ranjan Deb met with the representatives and assured them that their concerns would be addressed. “We understand the urgency of the situation and will do our best to expedite the recruitment process,” Dr. Deb stated.

The demonstration reflects the growing frustration and desperation among the unemployed youth of Tripura, who hope that their voices will lead to swift government action and the publication of the much-awaited recruitment notification.
