The Government of Gujarat recently issued appointment letters to about 10,000 Vidhya Sahayaks (assistant teachers) recruited through an online process. The letters were handed over to teachers by Chief Minister Narendra Modi in Ahmedabad and other ministers in the various district headquarters. About 5,000 assistant teachers have been recruited for maths and science subjects and another 5,000 for English language. One of its kind attempt, the education department carried out a centralised online recruitment and completed the selection within a month.
