•-Drawing attention to the various representations by the DREAN, AOE and finally FONSESA, I would like to share my personnel opinion. It is pondered as to whether such irregularities are happening only in the PWD or in all the departments of the state. Unemployment problem is one big issue that is being discussed in all levels throughout the world, and our state is no exception.
It is seen from the representation that there are more than two hundred or more (200+) unemployed graduate civil engineers in the state and the numbers are increasing annually. Isn’t it unfair on the part of the government by not giving equal opportunity to all such engineers to vie in the competitive examination for the recruitment? Instead what is seen to us is that recruitment and promotion are given to those privileges few that might have political backing. Isn’t it a violation of article 14 & 16 of the Indian constitution?
It’s hard to comprehend as to why service rule which is a statutory rule framed and adopted, when it is not supposed to be followed or adhered to even why is the NPSC constituted when recruitment can be done by the cabinet? I would certainly wish to know whether the state cabinet has been legally empowered to over-rule the statutory Rule, which according to our understanding from the representation, is made above all laws of the land. If those persons who could not qualify in the competitive exams can be placed/Enjoy the same status, in fact more than those regular employees I would rather linkup with some high profile politicians for employment rather than go through rigorous competitive exams. But are all fortunate enough for such opportunity?
I feel what came out in NPWD might just be a tip of the iceberg. This is highly demoralizing. I strongly feel that the whole educated unemployed should join the bandwagon of the FONSESA. I wonder whether the NSF is aware of all this issues and whether they have any opinion regarding this system of recruitment; and if even whether CANSSEA agrees to this system of cadre management. Doesn’t this issue have a similarity between the Supreme Court Judgments passed recently regarding the Orissa Govt. which appeared in the local dailies on the 14th of Feb. 2011 edition, wherein, it was mentioned that “An irregular appointee cannot enjoy any benefit including salaries”
