The organisation of Bachelor of Physical Education (B.P.Ed)/Master of Physical Education (M.P.Ed.) trained unemployed organisation has threatened to march towards State Secretariat on Tuesday.
On the 385th day of agitation, the members of this organisation undertook a cleanliness drive at the old Raipur bus stand, on Sunday. The patron of the organisation, Devendra Koranga told The Pioneer that the State Government has done nothing to address the problems of the unemployed physical education graduates. He said that the members of the organisation choose to undertake a cleanliness drive of the dirty and soggy protest site to wakeup the State Government. Koranga informed that the organisation would hold a secretariat march on October 7 and claimed that large number of unemployed youths would participate in the programe. He said that a delegation of organisation met the Secondary education director CS Gwal on Saturday where he assured that the department is planning to fill vacant posts of physical education teachers by guest faculty.
There are about 17,000 D.P.Ed and B.P.Ed qualified unemployed graduates in the State and they are demanding that on lines of the neighbouring States the Uttarakhand Government should also create a post of Physical education teacher in the primary schools of the State. The members of the organisation have done everything from climbing atop the water tanks, to marching towards secretariat and observing hunger strikes but their demands are still unfulfilled. To create pressure on the State Government the members of the organisation are also undertaking a relay hunger strike from last eleven days.
