Some of them are even on the verge of getting into depression. They have the responsibility of managing their homes too," the letter reads.
Gandhi also stated in the letter that she had "interacted with 12,460 candidates who had cleared the teacher's appointment exams in the state.

Its been three years now, they are not being appointed."
