Dimapur, October 13 (MExN): The Nagaland Public Service Commission (NPSC) is asked by the Eastern Naga Students’ Federation (ENSF) to “keep in abeyance” the recent results of the civil service examination. The organization has alleged that the NPSC did not implement the 25% reservation for the eastern communities of Nagaland.
ENSF alleges quota bias in NPSC exam
A press release from the ENSF today said to have “detected a serious error” in October 5, 2011 results of the NPSC’s recruitment for ‘gazette’ and ‘non gazette.’ The 25% reservation policy of the state government allotted to the six tribes of “eastern Nagaland” was not implemented as per the 25 % quota, the ENSF asserted.
The ENSF said there were 64 posts advertised out of which 22 was “gazette” posts and 42 “non-gazette” posts. “The total reserved posts for the 6 tribes out of the 64 posts as per 25 % job reservation policy should be 16 whereas only 13 was allotted for the eastern Naga tribes,” the ENSF asserted.
The ENSF went so far as to claim that the “eastern Naga tribes as always are deprived” of 3 posts, of which 2 are “gazette” posts and one “non-gazette” post (one each of DSP, EAC and a ‘non-gazette’ posts). “There were 12 EAC posts and 10 DSP posts so 3 EAC and 2 DSP posts should have been allocated to the eastern Naga tribes as per 25% job reservation policy but the commission has blatantly neglected the quota for reasons best known to the department which is highly questionable,” the ENF said.
The organization has asked the NPSC to “rectify the error” and implement the reservation “before issuing out the appointment orders to the successful candidates.”
