The Indian government plans to recruit 38,800 teachers and support staff for 740 Eklavaya Model Residential Schools in the next three years, according to the Finance Minister, Nirmala Sitharaman. These schools are intended to serve approximately 3.5 lakh tribal students. The Eklavaya Model Residential Schools are a part of the government’s efforts to improve access to education for tribal communities, especially in remote and underdeveloped areas.
By providing quality education and boarding facilities, these schools aim to support the academic and personal development of tribal students, helping to bridge the educational gap between tribal communities and the rest of the country. The recruitment of 38,800 teachers and support staff is a significant step towards achieving this goal and ensuring that the schools are equipped to provide students with the resources and support they need to succeed.
