Shillong, Dec 16: The ACHIK dedicated to upholding transparency, meritocracy and social justice in public institutions, today express grave concern regarding the protracted delay in the recruitment of permanent Teaching and Non-Teaching Staff at the Capt. Williamson State University, the newly functional State University.
ACHIK want to highlight the fact that sustained reliance on adhoc and temporary appointments severely impacts the quality and continuity of education, hinders critical administrative functions and deprives qualified local candidates of stable employment opportunities.
The organisation stated that unjustified top-level appointments must cease, the alarming trend of creating and filling unnecessary, high-ranking posts at the top management level without any formal interviews should be done away with as there are instances where no proper recruitment has been advertised and recruitment procedures being followed to recruit persons for the top job.
The University should expedite permanent faculty recruitment and adhere to reservation Policy, the organisation calls upon the State University and the concerned government departments to speed up the recruitment process, to immediately initiate and conclude the process for all advertised permanent teaching and non-teaching posts to ensure the University has a stable and dedicated workforce.
The recruitment should be strictly adhere to the state job reservation policy, to ensure that the recruitment for all permanent positions teaching and non-teaching is conducted in scrupulous adherence to the Meghalaya State Job Reservation Policy of 1972 and subsequent government directives, thereby safeguarding the constitutional rights and representation of all communities.
