The Rajasthan Education Department has recently announced the commencement of the Document Verification (DV) process for government teachers after the allegations of fake educational documents and dummy candidates have come to the limelight. Candidates who have been appointed as teachers in the past 5 years have to go through the Document Process again to testify to the authenticity of their documents and candidature.
Education Department Announces DV Process for Govt Teachers
In an official order (Order Number: P.16 (16) K./ K-5/ Bh.Pr./ 2024) dated 6 June 2024, the Rajasthan government has mandated a thorough internal investigation of employees recruited over the past five years.
The directive emphasises the formation of internal committees within each department to verify the authenticity of educational documents, application forms, photographs, and signatures of the recruited employees. This measure aims to confirm that the individuals currently employed are the same ones who appeared for the exams.
What Propelled Raj Govt to Announce DV?
The Rajasthan government’s decision was driven by alarming reports of candidates securing government jobs through fraudulent means. Instances have surfaced where individuals presented fake educational qualifications or had dummy candidates take exams on their behalf.
Such malpractices not only undermine the credibility of the recruitment process but also affect the quality of education. To address these issues, the state has instructed departments to verify credentials meticulously and report any discrepancies to the Special Operations Group (SOG).
Conclusion
The announcement of the DV process for the appointed teachers by the Rajasthan Education Department is a significant step towards ensuring transparency and fairness in the recruitment of government teachers. By verifying the authenticity of employees’ qualifications and identities, the state aims to uphold the integrity of its educational system and provide quality education to students.
This proactive approach will help reinstate the faith and trust of people at large in the integrity of the Government and its recruitment process.
