Hello all
I am a new member to the forum and have joined this forum with a very specific purpose of seeking advice over an issue which is bugging me from quite some time.
It relates specifically to the appointment of female teachers as BLOs(Booth Level Officers).
A BLO is a person a govt.employee ,anganwadi worker etc , employed by the election commision of india for revision of electoral roles,addition of new votes etc tasks.
It is a door to door duty.
Now th issue is that the teachers are not releived of their duties from their respective departments keeping in mind the children's right to education.So it is supposed to be done after the school hours or on holidays.
Concerning the female teachers-they also own the social responsibilty of looking after the children,the old people and doing the rest of household chores.Where she is the one who suffers.
Can no one open up their eyes n view this as inhumane treatment.
There are even labour rules in our country.
..and after being so exhausted would the female teachers be able to properly do justice to their act of teaching?
It also brings to light the safety concerns of a female.
This whole scenario is just not acceptable to be..as injustice is against one person..the female who has roles of a housewife,a mother,daughter etc to play.
I wanna do smthing in this regard but have no proper way.
plz guide
Also plz clearify that if the election department deputes a govt employee for over a period of a month,then would he be eligible for leaves for working on sundays and gazetted and restricted holidays etc..
Thank you.
