Recruitment Reform Yatra Reaches Hazaribagh, Devendra Nath Mahto Raises Voice for Changes in Exam System

The growing concern among students and job aspirants over Jharkhand’s recruitment examination system is now reaching villages and smaller towns. The ‘Recruitment System Reform Yatra’, which began from Nemra in Ramgarh, reached Hazaribagh on its second day, where student leader Devendra Nath Mahto and his team are conducting an awareness campaign in the Lupung and Katkamsandi areas.

During the campaign, Mahto and his team are meeting students and young people preparing for competitive examinations and discussing issues related to the state’s recruitment process. Allegations of paper leaks, irregularities in examinations and the need for greater transparency in recruitment are among the key issues being raised during the outreach programme.

The visit has also provided local aspirants an opportunity to share their concerns and experiences regarding competitive examinations with the campaign team. The organisers say the objective is to take the demand for a more transparent and reliable recruitment system directly to young people rather than restricting the discussion to political or administrative circles.

The yatra began on Monday from Nemra village in Ramgarh. At the start of the campaign, the team reportedly faced opposition from some villagers. The situation was later resolved through discussion, allowing the yatra to continue.

The Hazaribagh leg of the campaign is significant because the organisers are attempting to expand the recruitment reform movement beyond major urban centres. By reaching villages and smaller localities, the campaign aims to connect with a wider section of job aspirants who are preparing for state-level examinations.

The outreach comes at a time when recruitment examinations and the functioning of examination agencies remain a major concern among Jharkhand’s youth. The response to the campaign in the coming days could indicate how strongly these issues are resonating among aspirants outside the state’s major cities.
