The town hall area witnessed three annoyed Vidhyarthi Mitra climb up the water tank of the Municipal Corporation on Thursday afternoon. Eventually, they were brought down with the efforts of police as well as administration.

The three were identified as Prabhu Lal of Gogunda, Mangilal of Sarada and Mannaram from Salumber. They decided to climb the water tank to display the annoyance over the elderly Vidhyarthi Mitra being excluded from the proposed school assistant selection on the excuse of being over aged, informed Farid Khan Pathan, President of Rajasthan Vidhyarthi Mitra Association.

Besides them, tens of protesters also presented a memorandum to the administrative officers under the banner of Rajasthan Vidhyarthi Mitra Association regarding their various demands.

According to Pathan, the protesters are demanding change in the process of selection of the school assistant as due to present requirements 8677 Vidhyarthi Mitra are being excluded from the process and even after giving their services for more than 8 years, they are not getting any benefits.

Out of the total number of excluded Vidhyarthi Mitras, 3500 are those that are above age and 5000 are those who have percentage that are required for selection. In some districts, the contractual workers are more in comparison to the available posts that is ultimately affecting the Vidhyarthi Mitras only as other contractual workers are still working as per Pathan.

At last the protesters demanded the administration to reconsider and to make constructive changes in the process of School Assistant selection so that they can find work.
