Chattisgarh Tribal youth in CRPF! Minimum Educational qualification to be relaxed for CRPF constable eligibility

New Delhi, Jun 1: Union Cabinet chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has approved a proposal of the Ministry of Home Affairs to relax requisite minimum educational qualification from having passed class tenth to class eighth, for the recruitment of 400 candidates as Constable (General Duty) in CRPF from 3 districts of South Chattisgarh namely Bijapur, Dantewada and Sukma.

 

 

 

 

Apart from issuing advertisement in local newspapers and adopting all means for wider publicity of this rally in these interior areas of the three districts, CRPF would subsequently impart formal education during the probation period to these newly recruited trainees. The 400 tribal youths from interior areas of three districts namely Bijapur, Dantewada and Sukma of Chhattisgarh will get employment opportunities.

 

 

 

 

 

The CRPF has proposed to recruit 400 native tribal youths as Constables (General Duty), from the relatively backward areas of Chhattisgarh. They will be confirmed in service only after acquiring the prescribed minimum educational qualification of having passed standard tenth, thus formal education will be given to these recruits and CRPF would extend all possible support like providing study material, books and coaching assistance during their probation period The probation period may be extended suitably, if required, to facilitate new recruits to acquire the prescribed education qualification. In order to facilitate them to take the 10th standard exam, these recruits will be registered with National Institute of Open Schools recognized by Central and State Govts.

 

The CRPF, during 2016 - 2017, had raised one Bastariya Battalion by recruiting Scheduled Tribe candidates from four districts namely, Bijapur, Dantewada, Narayanpur and Sukma of Chhattisgarh. However, it could not yield optimum results as native youths from interior areas could not compete in the recruitment process due to non- fulfilling of requisite educational qualification of having passed class tenth.
