Just 4.9% of higher edu teachers are Muslim Vikas Pathak NEW DELHI At 4.9%, Muslim represen­ tation among teachers in higher educational institu­ tions in India is much low­ er than the community’s proportion in India’s popu­ lation (14.2%), going by the recently released All India Survey on Higher Educa­ tion for 2016­17. The representation of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes is also lower than the populations of the two categories. While the survey, done by the Ministry of Human Re­ source Development, shows the representation of SCs at 8.3% of the total number of teachers in higher educational institu­ tions, ST representation is 2.2%. The SCs account for 16.6% of India’s population and STs about 8.6%. “At the all­India level, teachers belonging to the general category are more than half, that is, 58.2% of the total number of teach­ ers in India; OBCs follow at 31.3%,” says the survey report.
