Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) Working President and IT Minister KT Rama Rao urged union Home Minister Amit Shah to revise the CRPF recruitment notification to include Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, and other official languages, stating that the Centre’s decision to conduct Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) recruitment examinations only in English and Hindi would be disadvantageous to job aspirants who are not familiar with these two languages.
The Ministry of Home Affairs issued a notification on Thursday regarding the recruitment of approximately 1.30 lakh constables in the CRPF. According to the announcement, the Computer Based Test will be held only in English and Hindi.
In a letter to Shah on Friday, Rama Rao stated that the competitive exams were being held only in English and Hindi, which was a serious disadvantage to students who did not study in English medium or were not from Hindi-speaking States.
The National Recruitment Agency had decided to facilitate a Common Eligibility Test (NRA-CET) to replace multiple examinations and hold these in 12 Indian languages. However, he pointed out that this was not being implemented properly, including in the (CRPF) recruitment notification.
Since India has several official languages, conducting competitive exams only in Hindi goes against the spirit of the constitution, Rama Rao said, adding that the CRPF notification denies people the right to equal opportunities guaranteed by the constitution.
He recalled that Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao had written to the Centre on November 18, 2020, urging it to hold all competitive exams for union government jobs in regional languages.
He urged Shah to revise the CRPF notification so that crores of youth studying in regional languages would get equal opportunities without any discrimination or inequality.
