Recruitment to the post of Urdu teacher started in the year of Akhilesh’s government. Of the 16460 vacancies of teachers, four thousand posts were separated for Urdu teachers. Former Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav on 15 September 2016 had approved for recruitment of 4 thousand posts.
Applications were received from the candidates till January 9, 2017 for recruitment. Counselling date was issued in March 2017, but after the government changed the new government banned it. Candidates filed a petition in the High Court. On 15th April 2018, the High Court ordered the government to appoint two months Comments but the process of recruitment did not go further. But now Additional Chief Secretary Dr Prabhat Kumar has cancelled the recruitment by issuing notice.
