Candidate Narendra Rajput has been on a water‑free hunger strike for four days at Neelam Park, Bhopal, demanding a promotion in the Teacher Recruitment‑2025 process, despite his health worsening.
At Neelam Park in Bhopal, a group of aspirants for the Teacher Recruitment‑2025 have set up a sit‑in to press for a post‑upgrade or promotion in the selection process. Among them, candidate Narendra Rajput has been leading the protest by refusing water for four consecutive days.
According to reports, Rajput's condition deteriorated on Monday night, but he declined medical assistance and refused to be taken to a hospital, insisting that the demand for promotion remains the priority.
The protest reflects growing frustration among teacher‑seeker candidates who argue that the current recruitment guidelines do not provide adequate career progression. Officials have not yet issued a formal response, and the sit‑in continues as the candidates await clarification from the education department.
