TNSET candidates urge TRB to release results amid job, PhD admission uncertainty
COIMBATORE: Candidates who appeared for the Tamil Nadu State Eligibility Test (TNSET) in March have requested the Teacher Recruitment Board (TRB) to release the results promptly. Candidates pointed out that the delay in results prevents them from joining a post of assistant professor job at private colleges or pursuing a PhD programme.
A candidate, C Nithya of Erode district, told TNIE that since 2018, the TRB has been conducting computer-based test for SET from March 6 to 9. "Though the TRB released the TNSET answer key on March 20, it has yet to announce when the results would be released.
At present, many private colleges are recruiting for assistant professor posts for the next academic year. With the delay in the TNSET result, we are unable to apply for jobs as the TNSET qualification is essential. We are losing job opportunities. We can apply for jobs if the TRB releases the results soon," she said.
Another candidate, L Manivannan in Coimbatore, told TNIE that if students have the TNSET qualification, they don't have to write entrance examinations for PhD programmes. "For instance, Bharathiar University said that candidates can apply for the Common Eligibility Test (CET) for PhD programmes until May 31. If the TRB releases the results this month, candidates can know their SET qualification's status, and then they can decide whether to join a PhD programme directly or if they need to write the SET. Now, candidates are in a dilemma," he said.
A functionary from the NET/SLET Association told TNIE that usually the results are released within a month of the exam, but the TRB has delayed them. "The delay in releasing the results is unacceptable when the TRB conducts a computer-based test. It should promptly release the results, considering the welfare of the candidates," he stated.
Repeated attempts to reach the top officers of TRB went in vain.

Nexus between bureaucrats and politicians root cause of unrest in society: Former IGP Gopal Hosur
At the heart of any sustainable solution is good governance — one that is inclusive, transparent, just and not vindictive. Governance must rise above political expediency and resist exploiting social divisions for short-term gains. Instead, it should invest in long-term social cohesion, said former IGP Gopal B Hosur. In an interaction with TNIE, he talked about coastal Karnataka, his experience working there, reasons for communal clashes and solutions too. He highlighted that governments have a tendency to withdraw cases, especially related to communal violence, saying it should not be done and the courts should decide these cases. You were posted in coastal Karnataka. What was your experience? Coastal Karnataka is unlike any other region in its geography, culture and especially its communal dynamics. When I was posted as Inspector General of Police for the Western Range nearly 15–16 years ago, I had never worked in the area before, but was aware of the tensions there. The region was tense with communal clashes, attacks and stabbings. Despite its tensions, coastal Karnataka amazed me. It's one of the most vibrant and organised regions — Hindus, Muslims and Christians alike. Every festival or event is run better than most government functions — be it a temple fair, mosque celebration or church gathering. The people are highly enterprising and tech-savvy. However, there are deep divides, especially after the Babri Masjid incident, but the region also has immense potential — socially, economically and culturally. Do you think the interference of politics in bureaucracy is the main cause of communal disharmony? Has it increased over the years? If politics enters the administration system, it will lead to 'communal politics' which propagates violence. All parties are equally culpable. I place more blame on the bureaucracy than on the political establishment. Why don't even a few bureaucrats come together and say, 'We will uphold the rule of law'?

‘Anvar factor will be clear when results come out'
MALAPPURAM: Contesting the Nilambur by-election – necessitated after his resignation as an independent candidate, P V Anvar speaks to TNIE on his chances and the controversy surrounding his candidature. What are the expectations when you contest as an independent candidate in Nilambur? I have good support from the people. I'm not the candidate, every voter in Nilambur is. The issues I have raised in this area, all sections of the population, all political parties, all religious groups, and those who are apolitical and who think against 'Pinarayism' are candidates with me. This will be an election that changes the political history of Kerala. It will bring a realisation to all political leaders. This election will also correct the misconception that people are slaves. The contest is against two strong fronts... The people are most important in election results. And the result that Kerala is waiting for will come out. There are no limitations in being an independent. The fight here is not against two fronts, but against 'Pinarayism'. The fight is between Pinarayi (Vijayan) and the people. Is the main fight against Pinarayi or V D Satheesan? The main fight is against 'Pinarayism'. On one side, there is a secretariat member of the party (CPM) who preaches ' Pinarayism' throughout Kerala. The UDF has a candidate who stands with Pinarayism. That is what V D Satheesan is supporting. People will express their feelings against that. Satheesan is the 'hidden Pinarayi' who has not uttered a single word of 'Pinarayism', even though I have been repeatedly speaking out against this 'Pinarayism' for the past nine months and have exposed the criminal gangs of the police in Malabar.

Maoist's family appeals for his body to perform final rites in Andhra's Eluru district
RAJAMAHENDRAVARAM: The family of top CPI (Maoist) leader Thentu Lakshminasimha Chalam, alias Sudhakar, who was killed in an encounter in the Indravati National Park in Chhattisgarh's Bijapur district, has appealed to the State and Central governments to hand over his body to conduct his last rites in their native village of Satyavolu in Pedapadu mandal, Eluru district. Sudhakar (66), originally hailed from Vizianagaram district, but his father Ramakrishna Naidu, belonging to the BC community, migrated to Pragadavaram in the erstwhile West Godavari district in 1970 before settling in Satyavolu. Speaking to TNIE, Sudhakar's elder brother Anandarao (75) and sister-in-law Satyavati expressed a deep desire to give him a proper farewell. 'Sudhakar was a brilliant man. He chose his own path and left home in 1983. We last met him around 30 years ago in Rajamahendravaram Central Jail,' said Satyavati. She said police have been visiting their home for the past 24 hours. Recalling Sudhakar's life, she said he could have lived a peaceful life had he married his cousin in Vizianagaram. 'His father even allotted him an acre of land. But fate took a different turn,' she said. Sudhakar's sisters are now settled in Vizianagaram and Vizag. The family lost contact with him for decades after he joined the Maoist movement. The second brother, who settled in Guntur, passed away recently. Sudhakar, who carried a bounty of Rs 1 crore, was elevated to the CPI (Maoist) Central Committee in 2021.
