RSS Affiliate ABRSM Announces Protests Against Rajasthan Government Over Education Dept Issues
The Akhil Bhartiya Rashtriya Shaikshik Mahasangh (ABRSM), an RSS-affiliated teachers' organization, has announced a series of protests against the Rajasthan government. The group cites the education department's "dictatorial attitude" and failure to resolve long-standing teacher grievances despite over two years of dialogue. Key unresolved issues include amendments to the Shivira Panchang, transfers and promotions for third-grade teachers, financial approvals for upgraded schools, and salary discrepancies. ABRSM leaders criticized senior officials for creating uncertainty and imposing non-academic tasks, such as census duties, while ignoring rules regarding vacation lengths and PM Shri school selections. The protest schedule includes block-level demonstrations on May 14, district-level actions on May 29, and a state-level agitation starting June 18, culminating in a gherao of the state Assembly during the monsoon session. The organization argues that forced inter-district transfers and lack of digital infrastructure for online tasks are further harassing teachers, urging immediate government intervention to address these systemic failures in the state's education sector.
