Bhubaneswar: The opposition Biju Janata Dal (BJD) on Wednesday alleged large-scale irregularities, corruption, and victimisation of teachers in the recent promotion and transfer process undertaken by the Odisha School & Mass Education Department.
In a press statement, BJD spokesperson Lenin Mohanty alleged that the promotion of Junior Secondary Education Service (JR SES) teachers to Senior Secondary Education Service (SR SES) has been carried out in blatant violation of merit and the gradation list prepared by the state government on December 25, 2025.
He further stated that several senior and deserving teachers have been overlooked, while junior teachers have allegedly secured promotions through corrupt practices and monetary influence.
Expressing serious concerns about the alleged irregularities, Mohanty said many women teachers have been transferred and posted to distant locations without due regard for their seniority, family responsibilities, or gender-related concerns.
