Over half NCERT posts vacant as zero hiring for 2 years, Parl data shows crisis

Parliamentary data from the Ministry of Education has revealed that over half of the sanctioned posts at NCERT and its constituent bodies remain vacant. With no recruitment carried out for two consecutive years, staffing shortages are most severe in Group B and Group C posts. The organisation has increasingly relied on contractual staff to manage operations. Similar patterns of negligible permanent recruitment were also reported at NCTE and NIOS.
