 It is the duty of the government to provide education to the children in their mother tongue. But, regretfully due to the non interest of the people’s representatives and neglect on the part of the officials, Urdu medium schools are being closed down. Thus, depriving education to lakhs of children in their mother tongue.  This is also leading to unemployment of trained Urdu medium teachers. 

They said that due to the roster system under DSC or TRT in the years 2008, 2012 and 2017 many jobs were transferred to reserved categories.    These jobs are still vacant.   They demanded it to be transferred back to the general category. Appointment on these posts will help reduce the unemployment of Urdu trained teachers.
