Sixteen Cluster Resource Centre Coordinators (CRCCs) in Jajpur district were suspended by their higher authorities for not carrying out administrative orders, sources said on Sunday. The CRCCs were posted in 16 clusters of three blocks under Jajpur-I and Jajpur-II education districts.
Normally, a CRCC is posted at a particular cluster of a block under an education district for a period of five years. After the end of the term, he is shifted, and a new CRCC takes charge. As per the procedure, a total 102 CRCCs were appointed for 102 clusters of 10 blocks in both the education districts. They were directed to join in their respective clusters on or before April 30.
Similarly, the outgoing CRCCs were directed to give charges to the newly-appointed ones and return to their respective schools. But flouting the order, 16 outgoing CRCCs did not hand over their charge to the new CRCCs.
The Collector had given these 16 CRCCs a deadline to hand over the charges to the new incumbents, but they paid no heed. After the expiry of the deadline, they were placed under suspension for violating the administrative order.
