Can a decade be treated as insufficient period for a Government employee in Jammu and Kashmir Government’s Education Department for being “eligible” for confirmation which in administrative parlance is called “regularisation” ? What is the meaning of this vague term “regularisation” in the realm of Personnel and Human Resources manual? Nearly, over ten thousand “irregulars” are desperately awaiting regularisation for as long as ten years and these unlucky ones comprise Lecturers, Headmasters, Principals and others.
On many occasions, through these columns, we have voiced concern over totally inadequate and faulty personnel policies pursued in this part of the country in matters of appointments, period of probation and temporary(hood), trainings and grooming, disciplinary proceedings , inquiries and punishments, transfers , promotions and allied issues . When these employees are getting their salaries or “pays” even in an unevenly consistent manner, what hitch is there in confirming their services and paying them as per the scales and grades otherwise applicable to them? Resorting to adhocracy , piecemeal approach, patch work repairs, adopting deferring and delaying measures in the instant case only results in frustrations and uncertainties in these “builders of the nation” about their future status of their career which has a telling effect on their performance resulting in the sufferings of the students. The simple rule is that a minimum period of probation or temporary status of six months or a year should be prescribed after which on the basis of satisfactory performance and good health , one should be confirmed (or regularised) and in the alternative , one’s services should be terminated citing the reasons of unsatisfactory performance and ill health or both as the case may be and not kept in “suspended animation”.
