Bihar Domicile Policy May Not Sway Voters Before Election
The Bihar government is using a 'domicile policy', which means they'll give jobs to people who live in Bihar, to recruit teachers.
This comes after students wanted more jobs for people from Bihar.
It was promised before, then canceled, and now is back.
The policy might not be popular with young people who want jobs, and is connected to elections.
The elections are also focusing on the lack of jobs and good schools.
Bihar government implemented a domicile policy for teacher recruitment under TRE4.
The policy follows student agitations demanding domicile-based job reservations.
The policy was previously scrapped in 2023 after being part of 2020 election promises.
85% of teachers recruited through TRE4 would be Bihar residents.
Unemployment and quality education are major election issues in Bihar.
