In response to controversy over the exclusion of Bhojpuri, Magahi, and Angika from the Jharkhand Teacher Eligibility Test (JTET) Rules, the Jharkhand government has formed a five-member ministerial committee. This committee, coordinated by Finance Minister Radhakrishna Kishore, will review language-related issues and assess proposals regarding the inclusion of these regional languages. The decision follows a Cabinet meeting on April 15, where concerns were raised about the non-inclusion of these languages. Despite objections, the Cabinet approved the JTET Rules on April 28 without incorporating them. The committee's recommendations will be submitted to the state government after deliberations.
