Petition for Equality and Transparency in Higher Education

Equality and Transparency in Higher Education Petition

To: Indian Citizens

To

The Prime Minister,
Government of India


Honorable Sir,

With due respect, we, the students of India would like to draw your kind attention to the following inherent irregularities in the present appointment process of lecturers.

1. At present interview is the only criteria for recruitment, but for one or two vacancies as many as 200 to 300 applicants are called and interviewed within 6 to 7 hours. It is impossible to judge the capabilities and abilities of a candidate within a time span of 2 to 3 minutes.

2. Quite often it is alleged that inter university discrimination is prevalent in the selection process by the board members. Selection board often prefers their own students, ignoring other competent candidates.

3. There is lack of uniform criteria among different universities and colleges to call candidates for the interview.

4. There are striking irregularities and differences in terms of application fee which in some cases is even more than 1000 rupees.

5. What is the importance of conducting NET, if it is exempted as a criterion of selection?

6. There is complete lack of transparency and accountability in the lecturer’s appointment.

7. Since appointment notifications are generally published in local/regional newspapers, a large number of aspiring candidates from other parts of the country remain excluded from the appointment process.

In view of these irregularities, it is very difficult to select a deserving candidate as a lecturer who can develop scientific temper and knowledge power among the younger generations of the society. In the present context of globalization, lecturers can play a vital role in shaping the intellectual brains for the development of a knowledge society. But we feel that the present recruitment system in this regard is neither efficient nor fair to select suitable competent candidates.

Therefore, we sincerely request you to constitute a centralized recruitment body to conduct all India examination like UPSC for the appointment of lecturers. We shall be highly grateful to you.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned

Lathi-charge and tear gas on JNU students, 18 are seriously injured!

Minutes ago thousands of police forces freely lathi-charged and shot tear gas bombs on JNU students.

They also misbehaved with on girl. After complaints watchmen stopped them at gate at 3.30 pm, when they were trying to escape. Incidentally I was passing by from the gate, I found those goons were fighting with watchmen, pushing them and abusing them. They also threat for dire consequences to watchmen as they told that they are relative of some ‘commissioner’. A PCR of Delhi police was parked beside but policemen present that time were mere suspect of whole

Sorry Anna!

Anna, we are the youths who have great hope from your satyagrah, Who went on vigils at Tihar, Ramlila Maidan, India Gate and Jantar Mantar. We still have our support for you... However, we are deeply hurt by your team being accommodating political tricks of reservations and secularism. And I think you must clear it first, if you differentiate corruption charges based on caste and religion. If you don't differentiate, why there is a need to caste quota and ullema quota in your team. I have great respect for Arvind Bhai, have been detained by Delhi police on several accounts together... Be it RTI movement or 'cash-for-vote' issue. However, the recent development withing the protest team to be explained.      Four years ago, when 40-50 thousand youths gathered in Delhi demanding equal treatment in education, they were treated with water cannon and tear gas bombs. No one from 'civil' society or political parties raised their issue... Not even you Anna! The p

Let it be, imperfect me with myself

On 29th June, 2012 One more year passed by,  while I remained the one... Staying and counting by. Life has been a space in time.. Where people come and go,  They have to go and they do so. While being me, most of the time, into the thoughts and reality...  I Seldom forgot,  when to dim, when to shine.  It was only me,  lived in dark age and waited for the renaissance..  held on ups and stood through down, Lived through guilt,  Survived thorough innocence  who am I? the dream chaser? or own record breaker... Let it be, imperfect me with myself,  (just like this poem) Incomplete yet total in run, Let life be "coming soon" with fun...
