West Bengal Teachers Recruitment Scam: A Crisis in Governance and Accountability

West Bengal has faced numerous scams over the past 20 years, raising concerns over accountability in government job recruitments. A significant scandal involves the West Bengal School Service Commission, which recruited over 25,700 teachers in 2016 under questionable circumstances. Legal actions led to the Calcutta High Court canceling these appointments, a decision later upheld by the Supreme Court, sparking political tensions and calls for greater transparency in recruitment processes.
