State Human Resources Development (HRD) Minister Geetashree Oraon on Sunday said that many of the shortlisted candidates for posts of Vice-Chancellor (VC) and Pro-VC (PVC) in the State universities have blots in their character. She also said that the Governor as well as Chancellor of Universities Dr Syed Ahmed’s was unaware about the issue of not considering ‘domicile quota’ in the selection process.
Talking to The Pioneer she said, “Many of the shortlisted candidates have blot on their characters. Moreover, there are many who are above the age of 65 years and have directly been selected for V-C’s post despite having the experience of a Registrar. These are against the norms.”
“The Governor has assured to complete the process according to Jharkhand State Universities Act 2000,” she added.Also, she objected on the members of this committee. “Only academicians can be members of this committee but here most are non-academicians,” she added.
