JAMMU, Sept 21:All J&K Plus 2 Lecturers Forum has strongly resented the appointment of Joint Directors from KAS cadre.
An emergency meeting of central executives of the Forum was held today in Jammu, under the chairmanship of its working president Deepak Sharma, wherein all the members in one voice strongly resented the appointment of Joint Directors in Education Department from KAS cadre.
Deepak Sharma said that by appointing KAS Officers as Joint Directors in School Education Department, the Govt. has curtailed the already limited promotional avenues of the Plus 2 Cadre. “The Government has violated the SRO-481 in which it is clearly mentioned that a person with 3 years service as Joint Director from the Education Department, can be posted as Director School Education on first preference and secondly from IAS/KAS Cadre. But this move of Government has degraded the dignity and honour of our Plus-2 community even further by appointing the Joint Director School Education Department illegally and illogically from KAS Cadre which is highly condemnable and objectionable,” he added.
The members opined that a person holding the post of Joint Director and even Director School Education should be professionally qualified and well versed with Education Department. “Only a person from the Education Department having the varied experience can run the Department efficiently by manning the posts of Joint Director and Director, whereas the KAS officers being non-concerned persons with little knowledge and experience, about the Education Department should not be allowed to experiment with the Education Department. The Govt. is deliberately trying to derail the Education system from the track,” they added.
The meet unanimously decided that Plus 2 community will not tolerate the transgressing of rights of the Cadre. “The Forum has always believed in petitions and submissions but will not hesitate from adapting agitational path if the Government doesn’t stop experimenting with School Education Department just to create promotional avenues for KAS cadre which will not achieve the purpose of goal of academic excellence,” the Forum resolved and appealed the Chief Minister, Mehbooba Mufti to personally intervene and review the decision of the Government for overall welfare of the School Education Department.
