This Bill is to ensure reservations in teaching positions in central institutions for persons from Scheduled Castes/Tribes, socially and educationally backward classes, and those from economically weaker sections. According to the HRD Ministry, there are more than 7,000 teaching jobs lying vacant in central educational institutions. According to the provisions of this Bill, teachers will be given jobs through direct recruitment. Are all Central institutions included in this Bill? Those institutes deemed as institutions of excellence, and of national and strategic importance will not come under this law.
