Students in Jharkhand have expressed their deep frustration over the prolonged delay in the release of results for the Food Safety Officer (FSO) and Child Development Project Officer (CDPO) examinations conducted by the Jharkhand Public Service Commission (JPSC). For nearly two years, candidates have been waiting for their outcomes, leading to a significant protest organized by the Jharkhand State Student Association (JSSA). Led by its president, Satyanarayan Shukla, the association held a large-scale, peaceful demonstration outside the JPSC office in Ranchi, demanding immediate action.
The protesters highlighted that over two years have passed since the examinations concluded, yet the results remain unpublished. The JSSA alleges that this delay constitutes a severe dereliction of duty by the commission and demonstrates administrative apathy towards the future of countless aspirants. Despite multiple meetings, memorandums, and consistent communication with the JPSC secretary over the past 24 months, students have only received empty assurances. The association claims that both the JPSC and the government are evading responsibility, leaving students in limbo.
Speaking at the protest site, JSSA President Satyanarayan Shukla stated emphatically, “JPSC is toying with the lives of millions of aspirants by withholding FSO and CDPO exam results for two years. Students are weary, families are distressed, but the commission continues to offer excuses.” He stressed, “Our demand is clear – release the results immediately. The protest will not stop until results are published.” Shukla further emphasized that this is not merely a recruitment issue but a fight for transparency and justice.
The demonstration saw unprecedented participation from students across all 24 districts of Jharkhand, united by the slogan, “Release FSO-CDPO results – or provide answers!” The student organization presented five key demands to the commission: immediate publication of FSO and CDPO exam results, an official report detailing the reasons for the delay, accountability for responsible officials, a transparent evaluation process, and the mandatory establishment of timelines for all future examinations.
The JSSA has vowed to continue their struggle until the results are declared and plans to escalate their phased agitation. The association is resolute in its commitment to protecting students’ rights and has issued a stark warning to the JPSC: “Either release the results, or take action against those responsible for the delay.”
