IT Desk
Imphal, May 23: One of the Most prestigious agricultural university in the North East India, CAU (Central Agriculture University) need to retrospect the process of recruitment of its staff (non teaching). There seems to be lack of transparency and one can’t simply ignore it, it’s not only about Job of a person but about its prestige and importance of this university in the region. We all know that in industrialization the whole NE is far far behind any other states in the Country. There is no generation of Job in any fields , no private organizations are interested to establish their industry/farm in the region because of various known and unknown reasons. In the larger interest of the people of the region and keeping in mind for a sustainable development of the region based on its agro-forest based economy -this highly esteemed institute was established merely a decades ago. However the recent recruitment process vacant posts in this university hinted that few individuals with their vested interest are running the university as their own farm. Most surprisingly the higher authorities in the administration of the agricultural universities are known of the facts and try to justify the ongoing recruitment process. While one of the aspirant of a vacant posts in this university wanted to know the process – how candidates are recruited- after written examination and interview are held for selected candidates- no results were made public but individuals are called and appointed. When an aspirant went to enquire about the result of his interview -he has been informed that a candidate has already joined for the said post -while he wanted to know the official result of the said interview -the simple answer given to him was “ No , there won’t be no official declaration “ . Unsatisfied with the reply from the authority in the university -the aspirant enquired from the higher authority of the university- he wrote letter to DG ICAR ( indian council of agricultural research ) which is under the ministry of agriculture asking a very simple questions – if there was a written examination and interview held to fill a vacant posts – why the result of the interview are not made public . The reply came from an undersecretary of agriculture ministry , by simply saying “ as an adopted practice since establishment of the university results of the interviews has not been issued publicly “ But why ? if an examination was called and interview were taken to fill for such prestigious university -why not results be made public. Where will the aspirants go and find a fair chance to know how is the recruitment really taking place-will anybody answer to thousands of aspirants why not result be made public. What is the problem with the authority in making public a result of an examination and interview?
