More than a hundred Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan (RMSA) Written Exam 2014 Qualified Candidates phases 2 & 3 today gathered outside the office of RMSA Nagaland at Old Secretariat, Kohima demanding for immediate issues of appointment orders.
More than 110 candidates who have been selected through written exam and viva voce for recruitment to the posts of secondary teacher under RMSA have voiced out their discontentment over failure of the department to absorb them into the service even after being selected by the department for appointment. Interacting with some media persons, RMSA selected candidates said they have decided to go on an indefinite agitation starting today till their pending appointment orders are issued.
Selected candidates who are awaiting their appointment pointed out that first phase of appointment has been completed, whereas 111 candidates to be appointed in the second and third phase are still awaiting their appointment. While waiting for the appointment some of the candidate’s age limit has already expired.
Irked by the silence of the concerned department, one of the candidates Ihoilung Chuilo said the candidates have no option but to resort to agitation indefinitely until their appointment orders are issued. He also said that they met the Director, RMSA on April 7 but no assurance was given to the candidates.
Expressing concern over their livelihood, they said that most of the candidates working earlier in other schools and colleges have quit their jobs thinking that they would get appointment.
The selected candidates pointed out that they had sat for examination against the advertisement for recruitment of secondary teachers under RMSA published on December 14, 2013. Written exam was held on May 24, 2014 and results declared on June 27, 2014. Viva Voce for the same was held on July 2015 and declared on November 30, 2015.
