Delhi Civic Body Creates 58 Supernumerary Special-Educator Posts to Fix EWS Quota Gap
The decision implements a Delhi High Court directive correcting an EWS reservation shortfall without displacing existing appointees.
Overview
- The posts are for primary school special educators who teach children with disabilities.
- MCD has allocated Rs 4.6 crore annually to fund the additional positions.
- The supernumerary posts will preserve the rights of already appointed and waiting-list candidates, in line with the court’s order.
- The move remedies an error from the 2020–21 SDMC drive that forwarded 54 EWS vacancies instead of the mandated 112.
- After DSSSB’s July 2022 appointments based on the lower EWS count, the CAT ordered full compliance in February 2023 and the Delhi High Court dismissed DSSSB’s challenge in 2025.
