"The teacher recruitment process is carried out through the 'Pavitra' portal at present. Necessary assessment is being made to introduce a similar centralised online process for recruiting non-teaching staff," said state education commissioner Sachindra Pratap Singh.
He was speaking at the state-level review meeting of the school education department in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar city.
Clerical staff, librarians, and different posts from non-teaching sections are likely to be filled through the govt portal.
The two-day meeting, which concluded on Saturday, also saw discussions on setting July 31 as the cut-off date for deciding the staffing pattern in govt-run schools. The existing deadline for the same is Sept 30.
Earlier, addressing the meeting on Friday, School education minister Dada Bhuse said the 'CM SHRI Shala' scheme would be implemented in the state on the lines of the Centre's 'PM SHRI' school scheme. "About 5,000 schools will be developed under the CM SHRI Shala scheme in the state.
Also, one class from 10,000 schools across Maharashtra will be made an ideal class," he said.
Bhuse also said that the opposition parties were engaging in false propaganda as Hindi was being introduced as a mandatory language in schools all across. Maharashtra.
The review meeting also saw brainstorming on charting out the action plan of the School Education Department for preparing 'Vision 20247' and the official response to the call by CM Devendra Fadnavis for making a '150-day action plan' for every govt department.

Spreading Bhagavad Gita's message in ‘mohallas' will strengthen Hindu Rashtra: Rane
Maharashtra minister and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Nitesh Rane said on Sunday that the idea of the Hindu Rashtra would be strengthened if teachings of the Bhagavad Gita were propagated in 'mohallas' for the 'transformation of thoughts'. Rane further suggested that instead of deepening divides among Hindus, efforts should be made to teach Marathi to those who have lived in Mumbai for decades but have not embraced the language. (HT FILE) Noting that the Gita never preaches hatred or advocates (religious) conversions, Rane said, 'If its teachings spread to mohallas (Muslim areas), even their thoughts will transform. This will make our Hindu Rashtra stronger'. 'Teachings of the Bhagavad Gita promote harmony and transformation of thought. Its message should reach every corner,' he told reporters. Amid a row over the inclusion of Hindi in the school curriculum from class 1 and demonstrations staged by the Opposition, Rane said, 'No language is being made compulsory. Students can opt for Sanskrit as the third language if they wish'. The BJP leader claimed he never heard lyricist Javed Akhtar, actor Aamir Khan, or Congress leader Rahul Gandhi speaking in the Marathi language. The Shiv Sena (UBT) and Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) have announced to organise a joint march against the 'imposition' of Hindi in schools on July 5. 'Why not hold rallies in areas like Behrampada or Mohammad Ali Road? These are the places where Hindi is spoken. The day 'azaan' (Islamic call for prayer) is delivered in Marathi, we will know there is true respect for the language,' he told reporters. Rane further suggested that instead of deepening divides among Hindus, efforts should be made to teach Marathi to those who have lived in Mumbai for decades but have not embraced the language. When asked about Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar advocating the introduction of Hindi from class 5, Rane said Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis will speak with Pawar. He took a veiled swipe at Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray over the choice of language. 'If you studied at Bombay Scottish, why did you not choose Sanskrit? Why Spanish or French?' he asked.

Maharashtra CM Fadnavis, CJI BR Gavai attend inauguration of MNLU buildings; highlights 'Indianisation' of new criminal laws
Nagpur (Maharashtra), June 30 (ANI): Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Sunday said the three new criminal laws brought in by the Centre are not merely a change in names but a step towards the 'Indianisation' of the criminal justice system. Fadnavis made the remarks while attending the inauguration ceremony of the Administrative Building and Central Library Building of Maharashtra National Law University (MNLU) in Nagpur. The event was also attended by Chief Justice of India BR Gavai, Union Minister Nitin Gadkari and other dignitaries. 'We have made three new laws in our criminal justice system. The IPC of 1860 has been renamed as the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, the CrPC has been renamed as the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, and the Indian Evidence Act is now known as the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam. This is not just a change in the nomenclature, but we have also done the Indianisation of these laws,' Fadnavis said. He further said, 'On one side, it's our Constitution, which is the greatest in the world, and the Constitution, which has evolved by many decisions of the Courts, is our fundamental value. Along with this, we must adapt ourselves to counter the evolving challenges.' The new criminal laws, Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, came into force across India on July 1, 2024, and are aimed at improving transparency, speeding up trials, and addressing modern legal challenges. Meanwhile, the Maharashtra government on Sunday withdrew two controversial resolutions related to the implementation of the three-language policy in schools, following criticism from opposition parties. The resolutions, passed on April 16 and June 17, had made Hindi a compulsory third language in Marathi and English-medium schools, triggering backlash over concerns of linguistic imposition. Clarifying the state's stance, CM Fadnavis announced the formation of a committee to examine the implementation of the three-language formula. The committee will be headed by Dr Narendra Jadhav, a former Rajya Sabha MP and economist. 'A committee under Dr Narendra Jadhav will be formed to discuss the implementation of the three-language formula in the state... Until the committee submits its report, both government resolutions (of April 16 and June 17) have been cancelled by the government,' Fadnavis said. The CM's statements sought to allay concerns after the opposition accused the government of pushing Hindi at the expense of regional languages. The inauguration at MNLU comes amid ongoing discussions about education, language policy, and legal reform in Maharashtra and across the country. (ANI)

July 5 protest march to go ahead as victory rally: Uddhav
Mumbai: After the state government announced its decision to scrap the two government resolutions (GRs) on introducing Hindi in schools from class 1, Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray said the protest rally planned on July 5 in conjunction with the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) would be turned into a victory rally. He urged his cousin and MNS chief Raj Thackeray and other opposition parties and civil society groups opposing the move to introduce Hindi in schools to participate in the rally. Before the government announced the decision to scrap the GRs, organisations working for the cause of the Marathi language burnt copies of the GRs at Azad Maidan in south Mumbai (Hindustan Times) The Thackeray cousins' decision to hold a joint protest rally in Mumbai on July 5 was seen as a politically significant development ahead of the local body polls scheduled later this year as they were supposed to come together publicly after nearly two decades. The rally was garnering visible response from people as well as opposition parties, which staged a notional protest on Sunday by burning copies of the GRs issued by the government. Addressing the media after Fadnavis announced that the GRs had been scrapped, Uddhav Thackeray said the issue had awakened the Marathi. 'I am proud of the power of the Marathi people which defeated the government's agenda. This again shows what the people can do when they come together,' the Shiv Sena (UBT) chief said. The protest rally planned on July 5 would be converted into a celebration rally, he declared, saying the time and format of the programme would be announced after discussions with all the concerned people. 'The unity of Marathi people should not be allowed to break once again. I am requesting the Marathi Bhasha Samiti, the MNS and others to participate in the programme on July 5,' Thackeray said. When asked if he and Raj Thackeray could come together in the near future, Uddhav responded saying, 'I am repeating it again that instead of coming together during a crisis, if we remain united, crisis will not come.' MNS chief Raj Thackeray too said that their unity had forced the state government to change its decision and hoped the unity would hold, although he did not respond to Uddhav's invitation to join the celebratory rally on July 5. 'The attempt to force Hindi in Maharashtra has now finally been defeated, and for this, congratulations are due to all the people of Maharashtra… Perhaps the government was intimidated by this unity and that's a good thing, they should be afraid,' Raj Thackeray said in a post on social media platform X. He also said further attempts to make Hindi compulsory in schools would not be tolerated. 'The government has once again appointed a new committee. Let me say this clearly, whether the committee's report comes out or not, such actions will no longer be tolerated. The government must etch this fact permanently into their mind,' he warned. NCP (SP) too referred to the scrapping of the GRs as a victory of the Marathi people. 'The decision mandating Hindi has been scrapped. This is the strength of Marathi people. It is also the victory of Marathi people,' state NCP (SP) chief Jayant Patil said in a post on X. The party has not responded to Uddhav's invitation to join the victory rally on July 5. Before the government announced the decision to scrap the GRs, organisations working for the cause of the Marathi language burnt copies of the GRs at Azad Maidan in south Mumbai. Opposition leaders including Uddhav Thackeray, Maharashtra Congress chief Harshavardhan Sakpal, MNS leader Nitin Sardesai and leaders from Left parties participated in the protest. 'Today, we have burnt the GR to ashes. If they still want to force Hindi on us, we will see how to deal with it,' Uddhav was quoted saying while leaving the venue.
