DYFI Protests Delayed Teacher Recruitment for Special Education in Andhra Pradesh
The Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI) staged a protest in Vijayawada demanding the government issue recruitment notifications for 2,260 Special Education Teacher posts approved in April 2025. The State Cabinet had approved these positions and released a recruitment schedule, but the government has not yet issued the formal notification. The delay has left job aspirants waiting and some have exceeded age limits, prompting demands for age limit relaxation and broader employment accountability.
DYFI leaders protested at Dharna Chowk in Vijayawada on Wednesday, demanding immediate action on unfilled government positions, particularly 2,260 Special Education Teacher posts for students with special needs. State secretary G. Ramanna accused the coalition government of neglecting unemployed youth and failing to follow through on Cabinet approval and recruitment schedules from April 2025. Beyond the teacher positions, DYFI demanded that all vacant posts be filled through direct recruitment, the age limit be raised to 47 years to accommodate candidates who exceeded limits during the eight-year recruitment gap, and the government disclose exact employment figures from the past two years. The protest also called for implementation of election promises including unemployment allowance payments. Supporting organizations like Kula Vyatireka Porata Samithi joined the demonstration, highlighting broader frustration with employment generation claims.
