Primary School. The students of Vasti Shala are in the main stream itself and even minimum qualification of Swayam Sevaks is 12th pass. Under Mahatma Phule Shikshan Hami Yojana, where the petitioners were working, after 2-3 years at the center, the students are to be admitted to the regular primary / higher primary schools. The minimum qualification is 10th pass and even retired teachers / those under national employment / NCC / Nehru Youth Center workers can also be appointed as Swayam Sevak. Primary school runs only for four hours in a day and that too as per convenience, either in the morning or in the evening and not as regular school. After 2-3 years, the center ceases to function, whereas Vasti Shalas are converted into regular schools fulfilling the criterion and others in alternative innovative education. Thus the Vasti Shala functions as regular school and the centers under Mahatma Phule Shikshan Hami Yojana do not function as regular school, but the center continues ad-hoc for two years for primary level and for three years for higher primary level. There are inherent distinguishing circumstances between the both. The petitioners cannot ipso facto claim parity and equally absorption as Para Teachers or Assistant Teachers in regular school only because the Vasti Shala Teachers, upon satisfying some conditions, get absorbed as Para Teaches and later on as Assistant Teachers.
