Assam introduces 3% reservation for Tea Tribe, Adivasi communities in teacher recruitment

Digital Desk: The Assam government has taken a commendable step towards inclusivity by announcing a three percent reservation for the Tea Tribe and Adivasi communities in the ongoing teacher recruitment process.

Education Minister Ranoj Pegu shared this significant decision through a tweet, stating, "Pursuant to Govt OM, there will be 3% reservation for Tea Tribes and Adivasi Communities within the existing 27% quota for OBC/MOBC communities in the current Teacher recruitment under @SchoolEdnAssam."

The policy, applicable to Class III and Class IV positions in teaching and non-teaching roles under the Directorate of Elementary Education, Assam, reflects a strategic effort to enhance the representation and participation of these communities.

 

By extending the reservation to both teaching and non-teaching staff, the government aims to develop a more inclusive and diverse educational landscape. 

This move aligns with the broader goal of fostering social equity and breaking barriers for marginalized communities in Assam.
