RAM CHANDRA SWAMI Vs. STATE OF RAJASTHAN

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THIS writ petition apparently raises a very minor and insignificant controversy. However, a false step by this Court here or there may lead to grave and serious evil consequence resulting in irremediable damage to the 'child' of the State, the future citizen and indeed a sacred charge entrusted to the care and custody of the Nation. Hence, this short preface to put the controversy in a clearer perspective.

(2.) PRIMARY Education in Rajasthan has two distinct sectors. The urban sector is looked after by the Director of PRIMARY & Secondary Education, under whose control and supervision are run government primary schools in cities and towns of the State. The rural sector of primary education is controlled and supervised by the various Panchayat Samities. For Panchayat Samities in a district, there is a statutory autonomous body known as District Establishment Committee (for short DEC) which recruits primary schools teachers and after initial recruitment allots them to various Panchayat Samities within its territorial jurisdiction.

(3.) HERE, I may reiterate and repeat that today's child is tommorows citizen and the nation owes a special responsibility toward the children of today so that they shape as ideal citizens and serve the nation in this fast moving world, which is full of competition in all walks of life. The founding fathers of the Constitution of India were aware of the special responsibilities and obligations that the nation owed to its children, the citizens of future, a sacred trust in every sense of the term so that the nation could redeem its pledge, which it took on 15. 08. 1947. The preamble to the Constitution promises to usher in a welfare State where shall be secuied to all its citizens, Justice, Social economic and political; liberty of thought, expression, belief, faith and worship and equality of status and of opportunity.
