Jammu, Mar 20: The course Masters in Business Administration (Hospitality & Tourism) is being taught in the state run universities for years but due to "lackadaisical approach" of both varsities the course is yet to be introduced for State Level Eligibility Test (SLET).
However, despite the lapse of 15 years, Masters in Business Administration (Hospitality & Tourism) course run in University of Jammu and thousands of students who pass out the varsity have been deprived of the opportunity to appear in State Eligibility Test.
Basharat Hussain, a scholar of Jammu University criticized state government for their step motherly treatment towards those students who are interested to study in MBA in Hospitality and Tourism.
"University of Jammu had started two year full time Master's Degree Programme in Tourism Management in the year 2001-02 as a part of department of Management Studies. Within four years of its existence, the programme was able to establish its own credentials among the academia and the industry", Basharat said.
Later on, the success of the programme, JU has established centre of Hospitality and Tourism Management on July 27, 2005, with an objective to develop tourism professionals and promote research but the success government has failed to stress on it and the subject has not introduced in SET.
"Keeping in view the University Grant Commission (UGC) requirements the degree has been renamed as MBA in Hospitality and Tourism in 2009 but that time the administration of Universities as well as government again failed to take up the matter with UGC regarding introduce the course in college level and in SLET", he said.
Another student of Jammu University said that it was very astoundingly the ministers of the successive government, in his rhetoric speech said that to create professionally competent manpower to meet the managerial level requirement of tourism and allied industries but at ground nothing has been done.
They further said that the test (SLET) is conducted in terms of checking capability of candidates and to offer teaching jobs or lectureship in all private and government universities of sates.
Pertinently, Supreme Court verdict that both National Eligibility Test (NET) and State Eligibility Test (SET) are the eligibility for lectureship but in Jammu and Kashmir research on Hospitality and Tourism are already in limited and the state government is still not in mood to introduce, if the subject was introduce then, the students have an opportunity to doing research on particular field, whereby state called the back bone of state economy.
An official of JU pleading anonymity said that previous year when SET exam has conducted by University of Kashmir, most of the students of belonging from particular field taking the matter with state government but government has nothing done in favour of students. "It was the responsibility of state government to introduce the subject because the SET is specified only in state", they said. |
