For this, the question of reservation for OBC and SC does not arise, the NSF and ENSF stated. “We demand that the reservation quota in Nagaland University be implemented in accordance with the office memorandum from the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions Department of Personnel and Training dated July 5, 2005 wherein it is clearly stated that Nagaland state can avail 45% reservation in group ‘C’ and ‘D’ category of posts in any office,” the letter stated.
Likewise, the two organizations took note of a recent advertisement published by Nagaland University on August 10, 2009. Applications were invited for non-teaching posts in Nagaland University. “We insist upon your esteemed self to annul the said advertisement immediately as it is not in accordance with the mentioned office memorandum and a fresh advertisement be published in accordance with the reservation quota for Scheduled Tribes in all vacant posts of the non-teaching staff at Nagaland university.”
The two students’ organizations also lamented the state of affairs in Nagaland University. Since its inception in 1994, the letter said, the university has been “crammed with controversies” and has failed to achieve any higher level of standards. It is hampering the growth quality education. NSF and ENSF stated.
“It is also unfortunate to mention that the present trend of the working system under the present administration of the university is lacking behind…” the letter added. The President of India is requested to intervene and address these issues in Nagaland University.
