Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren on Monday launched the J-Guruji (Jharkhand’s Guruji) application and distributed appointment letters to over 800 secondary school teachers at a function at Dr. Ram Dayal Mundal football stadium in Ranchi’s Morabadi.
The Artificial Intelligence (AI) powered application is a diverse learning platform with features such as digital books, learning videos, audiobooks, notes, summaries, question banks, bridge courses and model question papers, an official said.
“In today’s competitive world, education should be provided based on market demand. The Guruji app will help with this. We also discuss how we can make it more interesting for students,” he says.
Developed by the Jharkhand Council of Education Research and Training (JCERT), a division of the state school education and literacy department, the application will help students to follow the syllabus anywhere and get rid of high fees for private lessons, the official said.
The CM also gave away appointment letters to 827 newly appointed secondary school teachers. A total of 24 teachers from 24 districts received the appointment letters from the Prime Minister on the stage.
“Since coming to power in 2019, the government has faced several challenges such as the Covid pandemic and drought. Moreover, the opposition party creates obstacles on a daily basis in the state’s path to progress. Despite this, we worked relentlessly,” Soren said.
He said that many recruitments have been made in the last one year, including that of assistant engineers, clerks, dentists, panchayat secretaries, 3,500 teachers, about 100 recruitments in the home department, about 500 doctors, 32 veterinarians, engineers, nurses and Ayush -doctors.
“Around 34,000 youth got jobs in the private sector through Rojgar melas,” he said.
Soren said there was no recruitment policy in the state for the past two decades. “For the first time, we have framed rules for the Jharkhand Public Service Commission and conducted recruitment drives,” Soren said.
Rajya Sabha MP Mahua Maji and Jharkhand ministers Alamgir Alam and Satyanand Bhokta were also present on the occasion.
Speaking on the occasion, Maji said recruitment has become a regular affair in the state. “There will be 3,000 recruitments. Moreover, 800 Kasturba Gandhi Balika Awasiya Vidayalayas will come up soon and around 26,000 primary school teachers will be recruited soon,” she said.
