PATNA: The state government will appoint 8,000 assistant professors in different colleges and universities within a year, deputy chief minister Sushil Kumar Modi said at a meeting of the vice-chancellors held at Raj Bhavan on Thursday.
He said about 3,500 assistant professors have already been appointed by the Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC). Now, 8,000 assistant professors would be appointed by the newly constituted Bihar State University Service Commission. The universities have been directed to send details of subject-wise vacancies to the commission latest by the end of this month. He asserted that all the vacant posts would be filled latest by the end of June 2020.
Governor-cum-chancellor Lalji Tandon presided over the meeting.
Modi appealed to the VCs to take necessary steps for increasing the classroom attendance of students in colleges and universities. All the hostels must be freed of antisocial elements and unauthorized boarders and discipline must be enforced on the campuses. There should be a calendar of students’ union elections so that the universities get duly elected unions on time. The government would provide smart classes in all the institutions and asked the universities to make purchases through GeM.
Addressing the meeting, the chancellor said a clear policy for higher education has been envisaged and steps have already been initiated to implement the same. He said students’ interest must get priority in any higher education’s development agenda. Slackness on the part of university authorities would not be tolerated, he said.
Education minister K N P Verma, home department additional chief secretary Amir Subhani, education department additional chief secretary R K Mahajan, chancellor’s adviser R C Sobti and science and technology department secretary Rahul Singh also addressed the meeting.
The problems of higher education were discussed at length in the meeting. The chancellor and the ministers reviewed the progress made by the universities in implementation of academic calendars, regularizing the examinations and conducting online admission from the academic session 2019-20. Other issues like accreditation of colleges and universities by the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC), implementation of university management information system, appointment of guest faculty against sanctioned vacant posts, strengthening and modernization of libraries and laboratories and disposal of all pending cases of retired teachers and non-teaching staff were also discussed, sources said.
