Governor asks govt to fill vacant teachers' post in eight universities
Jharkhand Governor Ramesh Bais has directed the state government to fill up the teacher's posts that have been lying vacant in eight Universities. The move comes after Raj Bhavan informed that 3,064 or more than 68 per cent of teachers' posts have been lying vacant, out of the 4,476 sanctioned posts for teachers in eight varsities of the state.
The report was released during a meeting the governor of Jharkhand had with Higher Education Department officials and others.
"At Ranchi University, 674 posts for teachers are vacant against the sanctioned posts of 1,032. At Kolhan University of Chaibasa, 719 of the sanctioned posts of 994 are empty. Altogether 343 posts are vacant at Vinoba Bhave University in Hazaribag where the number of sanctioned posts is 597," the statement said.
The situation was stated to be more or less similar to the rest of the other five varsities. The governor directed the universities that serious attention is required to be paid to this direction so that assistant professors, associate professors and professors are appointed to the universities at the earliest.
The governor also further raised serious concern over the shortage of principals in many colleges which are being run by principals-in-charge. The principal-in-charge of such colleges will now be appointed by the Raj Bhawan and not by vice-chancellors.
Meanwhile, the Governor has also written to Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and have urged to reconsider the decision of implementing a common university entrance test (CUET) from the academic session of 2022-23.
