NPSC Aspirants tie up with ACAUT to fight backdoor appointments

DIMAPUR, SEPTEMBER 1 (MExN): An organization called the NPSC Aspirants today informed that it will tie up with ACAUT Nagaland to fight against the State Government’s P&AR Office Memorandum (OM), dated August 11, 2016, which had moved to regularize all contract appointees on completion of three (3) years of continuous service. A press note from the media cell of the NPSC Aspirants informed that it would tie up with ACAUT to fight this OM “in the court of law for all those posts which are within the preview of NPSC i.e., Class-I, Class-ll and Class-lll (Grade pay of Rs.2,800 and above). The aspirants will give every possible support in whatever form required by ACAUT.”  

This was decided in an executive meeting on August 30 to discuss the latest government policy on contract appointment. While it appreciated the earlier Office Memorandum, dated June 6, 2016 to ban all contract appointments with effect from; it however expressed concern at the latest OM.  

The NPSC Aspirants stated that the latest OM will “deprive many hard working aspirants of job opportunities as many high posts have been filled through backdoor appointments instead of open recruitment by NPSC.”  

“It is really surprising that only three departments requisitioned posts for the NPSC (NCS,NPS,NSS and other allied services) Exam, 2016.This is because many posts which are meant to be recruited through NPSC are all filled up by the candidates (mostly non-deserving and non-competent) of top government functionaries and politicians through back door appointment,” it said.  

The NPSC Aspirants further reiterated their earlier demand submitted to the Chief Secretary that all high posts in all government departments in Nagaland should be recruited through NPSC.
