JAMMU, Mar 15: Akhil Bhartiya Vidyarthi Parishad has demanded that those responsible for the selecting a blacklisted company for conducting JKSSB recruitment exams must be punished.
“ABVP since long has been saying that corruption on large scale is going on in JKSSB. As a result many exams were postponed and cancelled,” said ABVP State Secretary, Akshi Billowria, while addressing a press conference, here today.
She stressed that deferment of exams was not enough and those who were instrumental in hiring a tainted company must be blacklisted now by the Govt. We are maintaining that Jammu Kashmir is entering into new dawn but the few people involved in such activity still want to push back the youth of UT, she added.
The ABVP functionary also demanded that Jammu and Kashmir Public University Bill – 2022 should be revoked with immediate effect as this bill erodes autonomy of the Public universities with direct and unwanted interference of bureaucracy. “It is ironical that at one hand the National Education Policy is supportive of giving financial, administrative and educational autonomy but on the other hand Public University Bill-2022 recently approved by the Academic Council of Govt of Jammu and Kashmir intends to brutally erode the autonomy of the Public Universities in the Union Territory, she added.
Akshi Billowria stressed that the JKPSC and Higher Education Department should follow the UGC norms and conditions for the higher education institutions “As the bureaucrats want to control the autonomous setup of universities, they are coping controversial model from here and there. The public University model of Odisha was challenged by UGC in Supreme Court and similarly it will happen with the Public University Bill of Jammu and Kashmir,’ she added and stressed that the administration must avoid brining such controversial bill.
Akshi Billowria announced that if the Govt does not roll back such decisions which are affecting student fraternity and youth, ABVP will launch protest throughout J&K.
Ramnik Sharma, Media Convenor and ABVP Jammu University President Sunil Roudhan were also present in the press conference.
