Gauhati High Court Overrules 2017 Order Allowing 'Shiksha Sarathis' To Work Till Notional Age Of Retirement Upon Completing 10 Yrs Of Service

The Gauhati High Court has ruled that "Siksha Sarathis" (education volunteers) in Assam can continue working until their normal retirement age, overturning an earlier government decision to retire them early. The court emphasized the volunteers' critical role in education and noted that their termination lacked adequate reasoning and was arbitrary. This decision impacts the employment stability of Siksha Sarathis, ensuring they can work until retirement age as per government service norms.
