AIDSO holds weekly protest at Sakchi, seeks Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation over NEET paper leaks
Key Points:
- AIDSO holds weekly protest meet at Sakchi Gol Chakkar
- State secretary Sohan Mahto demands education minister’s resignation
- Organisation warns of larger student agitation nationwide
JAMSHEDPUR – The All India Democratic Students Organisation held a protest meeting at the Sakchi Gol Chakkar in Jamshedpur on Thursday, demanding the scrapping of the National Testing Agency. The demonstration was organised as part of the organisation’s weekly nationwide protest programme.
The protest also raised demands for safeguarding public education and ensuring employment for all students and young people across the country. AIDSO’s state secretary, Sohan Mahto, addressed the gathering at the event.
Mahto said repeated paper leaks in examinations such as NEET over the past several years amounted to a disgrace. He said leaks across various examinations had jeopardised the future of students nationwide.
He further said students were demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over the issue. Mahto added that government schools were being shut down even as departments within government colleges faced closure.
He said crores of students and young people were becoming unemployed every year, while the central and state governments remained unable to provide adequate jobs. Mahto said the current circumstances made it inevitable that student protests would spill onto the streets.
Demonstrations under the banner of three core demands were being held this week at various schools, colleges and intersections across the country, according to the organisation. Mahto warned that if the government failed to act on these demands, AIDSO would organise a large-scale student demonstration against the central and state governments in the coming days.
The protest forms part of a continuing nationwide agitation by student organisations against irregularities in competitive examinations, including the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test, which has faced repeated controversy over alleged paper leaks in recent years.
I should flag that I wasn’t able to place 5–8 internal links from the sitemap pool in this report — the pooled sitemap stories (politics, crime, infrastructure) don’t have a natural topical overlap with this student-protest story, and forcing unrelated links would violate the “contextually appropriate” rule. Let me check the pool more carefully for anything NEET/education/student related.Excellent, I found several directly relevant articles, including a previous AIDSO protest at Sakchi. Let me revise the report with proper internal links woven into the body.
