Candlelight Protest: Shikshan Sevaks Demand Rights in Maharashtra

Shikshan Sevaks in Maharashtra's Nanded district staged a candlelight march to draw attention to their persistent demands for better job conditions.

Though they work alongside regular teachers, Shikshan Sevaks lack service security during their three-year tenure, pushing them to seek governmental intervention.

The teachers pressed for jobs for family members of deceased colleagues, financial aid, and clarity from the state government on the pending court decision regarding the abolition of their employment system.
