They also met the chief secretary (Niranjan Arya) and DOP secretary (Hemant Gera) to raise their demands. They also said that if their demands are not fulfilled by the second week of July, they will boycott work across the state for one or two days.

“The DOP has issued a circular stating the minimum qualification for selection to the post of patwaris and gram sevaks is graduation, while that of ministerial employees is higher secondary. However, the recruitment of ministerial employees, patwaris and gram sevaks will be done through common eligibility test (CET),” said Raj Singh Chaudhary, state president, Rajasthan ministerial employees union.

“We met the chief secretary and the DOP secretary and requested them to consider this because most (over 95 per cent) of the educated unemployed people in the state are graduates and are well qualified in operating computers. They agreed to our proposal and changes have to be made in the rules,” he added.
