Student Protests: Following protests at Jantar Mantar and in Jharkhand, students in Bihar are now set to launch a hunger strike. Student leader Dilip will begin an indefinite hunger strike on August 18 to demand the resignation of Bihar Education Minister Mithilesh Tiwari, the release of the notification for Teacher Recruitment Exam (TRE) 4, and action regarding irregularities in other examinations.
Student Protests: The student leader noted that Tiwari had previously promised that the TRE 4 notification will be released in July without fail.
The student leader noted that Tiwari had previously promised that the TRE 4 notification will be released in July without fail; when questioned before July, he would ask if July had arrived yet, and when July did arrive, he would ask if it had already passed. Meanwhile, as per reports, the Education Department has sent a requisition to the BPSC for the recruitment of 32,388 posts. Reports, though, suggest that since the State Teacher Eligibility Test (STET) examination is scheduled to be held first, there could be further delays in TRE 4.
