NPP leaders stage protest against JKPSC 1/15/2016 12:02:49 AM Early Times Report Jammu, Jan 14 : Senior leaders and party activists of National Panther Party (NPP) staged protest demonstration against Jammu and Kashmir Public Service Commission (PSC) outside the its office today. Addressing gathering, Harsh Dev Singh who was apprised by the contingent of Ph.D holders of Jammu division disclosed to the media that such Ph.D holders were earlier shortlisted and called for interview by the PSC for the aforesaid posts but the Commission had subsequently refused their candidature for the interview (viva voca) on the basis of SRO 124 of 2014 which debarred them from the same. Describing the plea of PSC as highly irrational and absurd, Singh wondered as to how could the pre 2009 Ph.D holders comply with the provisions of SRO 124 which was not in force at the time of award of their Ph.D degrees. He said that the provisions relating to MSP(Minimum Standards and Procedure) certificate as described under SRO 124 didn't exist at the relevant point of time when the said candidates were awarded their Ph.D degrees and hence it was farcical to ask for such certificate from these candidates to justify their eligibility which otherwise would turn their degrees infructuous and redundant. The former education Minister was further apprised by the Ph.D scholars about the inefficiency on the part of higher education department which without securing the interests of scholars registered prior to July 2009 regulations implemented SRO 124 thus divesting all such candidates of an opportunity to take part in selection process. The contingent also brought to the notice of Singh that the posts of Assistant Professors were earlier advertised in 2013 but was withdrawn to serve the vested interests and the purpose of UGC 2009 regulations which prescribed the mode of selection was deliberately not followed.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
