U**PS: This is going to be a bit long. Also kindly ignore the username in the comments.**
We are a lower-middle-class family based in MP. My mom is/was a high school teacher, and my dad doesn’t do anything. Therefore, my mom has always borne all the family’s finances with her low-paying job. But she always believed in working her way up and constantly applied for government teaching jobs. She has always had problems with her hearing and even got a hearing disability certificate from the local city government hospital.
After preparing for exams day and night, while also working a full-time job and handling all the household chores, she finally cleared the *Varg 1 Exam* through a disability quota and with good grades. We were very happy for her.
However, this happiness didn’t last long. Someone filed a petition in court to stop the recruitment process, and everything came to a standstill. During this time, my mom made a huge mistake: she resigned from her only job because she believed she would get the new job soon. Finally, after half a year, the recruiting agency received the green light to continue, and things started moving again. The recruitment list came, and my mom was finally appointed to a school.
But there was a catch. Candidates applying through the hearing disability quota were now required to submit a *BERA test* report, as ordered by the court some years ago (this requirement wasn’t mentioned anywhere earlier). The court’s order said that the city’s medical administration should arrange a medical camp within a week for the candidates, but even after months, they didn’t bother to do anything. Instead, they advised us to get the test done ourselves from any government medical facility equipped to perform a BERA test.
The state of Madhya Pradesh has various districts with facilities for this test, but to our surprise, every single public hospital and medical college denied performing the test. They either refused outright or claimed the BERA machine wasn’t working. My parents traveled from city to city, but had no success. Only AIIMS in Bhopal was willing to conduct the test, but the staff there were rude, and they kept postponing the test for months.
Eventually, we learned that the medical college in Jabalpur was conducting BERA tests. Even there, we faced many challenges, but we finally got the test done. We thought the hard part was over and that we just needed to submit the report. But we were wrong.
We submitted the report to our city’s government medical team as part of the final process, but months later, they still haven’t moved forward. The report is just lying there. We visit their office every day, but nothing ever happens. They keep saying, “We’ll process it tomorrow” or “soon,” but it’s all empty promises. At one point, we thought they were waiting for bribes, so we even tried that (I know this is wrong, but please try to put yourself in our shoes. It’s like a drowning man trying to save himself in any way he can). Yet, even that didn’t work.
Recently, we heard from an insider that they are drafting a letter to higher authorities to order us to redo the test at AIIMS. This makes no sense-nobody else in the entire state was referred to AIIMS, and AIIMS keeps delaying the tests indefinitely. We’re also completely out of money to travel and stay in Bhopal again. Now, we learned that they recently approved another candidate’s record who got their test done at a neighboring city hospital. If their case was approved, why not ours? Why are they putting us through this nightmare?
I’ve not even mentioned 10% of the hell we are going through since the last few months. I am tired of seeing my parents wake up till 3AM in the morning worrying about the future of our family and I am tired of seeing my mother sobbing every few days since the past few months. I don’t know where to go. I don’t understand how these things were and whom we are supposed to complain. We don’t even have any money to hire a lawyer.
If someone has knowledge of how these things work then I beg you show us some light. We are desperate and on the verge of poverty.
Finally, if you spend your time reading this whole thing, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for hearing me. Thank you, dear stranger.
**TLDR; The local government medical team is not passing a medical report which is needed in order for my mom to get a govt job. We are in poor financial conditions and this delay is bringing us to poverty slowly.**

ULook for a lawyer who can take a pro bono case for you, if that doesn’t work out, reach out to the CM helpline. From what I’ve heard they really act on things pretty fast. Make sure you also write them emails.

IIt’s a clear tactic for taking a bribe. Perhaps u didn’t offer them a bribe the right way or u offered it to the wrong person. If u can contact the person who got clearance then get any info out of them whether they gave the bribe or not and to whom. Alternatively, u can write an application detailing ur ordeal without blaming anyone in the department and meet in person with the highest officer of the department and explain ur condition to him/her and request him/her to expedite the process. You can also meet the education minister or the minister involved with this recruitment and request him to help. The last resort is court but I will not suggest it as right now as ur family is in dire need of the job right now and filing a case in court will delay the complete process.
