Jamshedpur: The Jharkhand Viklang Manch (JVM), a state body of physically challenged people, claimed that govt school teachers are fraudulently obtaining disability certificates to seek transfer to their home districts.
The delegation met education minister Ramdas Soren at his house in Ghorabandha and submitted a memorandum to him demanding a probe into the matter.
"Altogether 20 teachers obtained the 45 per cent disability certificate to fulfill the benchmark criteria as per the Rights of Persons With Disability (RPDA) Act 2016 to seek transfer to their home districts in Santhal Pargana," said Arun Kumar Singh, president, JVM. He said that out of the 20 teachers, 16 were found to be 100% fit, and the remaining four teachers were detected with 25% disability, which does not qualify for the disability criteria as per the RPDA Act.
"After the matter came to the knowledge of the district education department in June, the teachers were asked to appear before the ENT and ophthalmologist panel for examination in July, wherein the teachers got exposed," Singh claimed.
The minister assured the delegation to get the matter probed to ensure proper action.
Civil surgeon, Dr Sahir Pall, said that the experts panel at Jamshedpur Sadar Hospital conducted the ENT and eye test of the doctors.
District education officer Manoj Kumar did not respond to repeated calls made to enquire about the claim of the association.

Those near Rani Ka Mandir, a Shiv temple, were shocked to hear multiple gun shots at 8 am and when they rushed in, they found the woman identified as Divyanshi Rathore, a BSc student, in a pool of blood after being shot thrice in the stomach. Police at the temple where the crime was committed in Uttar Pradesh's Mainpuri district on July 26. (HT photo) She was admitted to Saifai Medical College and Hospital in a serious condition and was being operated upon, said additional SP, city, Arun Kumar Singh. A case was registered at Mainpuri's Kotwali police station on a complaint by the woman's brother. The accused, identified as Rahul Diwakar, 28, who works as a private driver and lives in the same locality, fled the spot after committing the crime but was arrested soon after. He also suffered an injury in his leg in the police encounter, police said and added that the accused was already at the temple when the woman reached there alone to offer prayers. For Divyanshi's family, it was a repeat of what happened four years ago when the accused was booked. Out on bail, he continued to stalk the woman asking her to revive talking terms with him. However, the woman whose marriage has been fixed elsewhere did not do so and this enraged the accused, police said. Her family admitted that they had talking terms in the past but never had an affair. 'Rahul had targeted my sister four years ago too. An FIR was lodged but the matter subsided as time passed,' claimed the woman's brother Yash Rathore while talking to local media after the incident. He admitted that living in the same locality, her sister and the accused were at talking terms in the past but it all ended as time passed. 'The accused used to stalk my sister asking her to marry him but my sister always turned down her offer. Now her marriage has been fixed elsewhere and this did not go down well with him,' Yash claimed. When asked about the 2021 incident, additional SP, city, Arun Kumar Singh said: 'It is part of the investigation and we will not comment on it as of now.' 'The family has complained against Rahul Diwakar. He is under treatment at the district hospital and will be interrogated later. We will see what happened in 2021. For now, the girl was to be married elsewhere and was not ready to talk to the accused,' said ASP, city, Arun Kumar Singh. Meanwhile, locals claim that four years ago, it was a dispute over parking which brought the accused and the victim face to face during which the accused had fired in the air.

BHU signs first MoU for transferring tech to industry
Varanasi: In a step toward bridging the gap between academic research and industry, Banaras Hindu University ( BHU ) on Monday signed its first-ever MoU for technology transfer with EUPRIS Biologicals Pvt Ltd. The MoU grants licensing rights for a patented innovation developed at BHU for the preparation of Curcumin Quantum Dots (CurQDs)—a breakthrough in nanotechnology aimed at commercial production. The agreement was signed by Prof Arun Kumar Singh, Registrar, BHU, and Abhishek Singh, Project Coordinator at EUPRIS, in presence of Prof Sanjay Kumar, Rector and officiating Vice-Chancellor of BHU. EUPRIS CFO Himanshu Agrawal received the agreement. Prof Sanjay Kumar congratulated the university team and praised IPRTT Task Force for their dedication. tnn The patented innovation was developed by a multidisciplinary team comprising Prof. Pradyot Prakash (Department of Microbiology, IMS), Prof. Monika Bansal (Faculty of Dental Sciences), Prof. Rakesh Kumar Singh (Biochemistry, Institute of Science), and Ashish Kumar Singh, a former BHU research associate now at Patna University. Prof. Prakash explained that CurQDs, derived from curcumin, the active compound in turmeric, combine nanoscale precision with potent antibacterial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 2025 Top Trending local enterprise accounting software [Click Here] Esseps Learn More Undo The patented method overcomes curcumin's traditional limitations of poor solubility and bioavailability, ensuring biocompatible production. In cosmetics, CurQDs hold promise for advanced skincare, including anti-acne treatments, UV protection, and skin repair. In pharmaceuticals, they offer potential in treating chronic infections like periodontitis and in areas such as targeted drug delivery and photodynamic therapy, thanks to their ability to disrupt bacterial biofilms and their fluorescence properties. The technology transfer is the result of BHU's sustained efforts over the past two years to promote innovation through its restructured IPRTT Task Force, led by Prof. Birinchi Kumar Sarma. The Task Force has simplified patenting procedures, encouraged interdisciplinary innovation, and streamlined processes to enable industry collaboration. Prof. Sarma highlighted that the number of inventors coming forward to file patents has significantly increased, and more such transfers are in the pipeline. "Confined research benefits no one. It's only when it reaches society that innovation fulfills its purpose," he said. This landmark agreement is a giant leap for BHU, setting the stage for more academia-industry collaborations that can deliver impactful, real-world solutions.
