Govt wants its men in top varsity posts: Ajsu-P
Ranchi: Ajsu-P chief Sudesh Mahto on Tuesday blamed the state govt for bringing the Jharkhand State University Bill 2025 with the intention to fill up important posts of universities with its persons rather than for promoting higher education. The bill, which has been approved by the cabinet, provides for appointment of vice-chancellors (VC), pro-VC and the financial advisor of universities by the state govt. While addressing the media persons at his party's headquarters on Tuesday, Mahto said, "The step is not a reform. It is aimed at ending the existing system in which governor has the powers to make the appointments. It seems that the state govt intends to place persons of its choice in these posts." He also accused the the govt of not fully implementing the National Education Policy in the state. Rural development minister Deepika Pandey Singh said that the new bill is to streamline the process of higher education and its management in a more transparent manner. "The bill will come up in the upcoming monsoon session of the state assembly where it will be opened up for debate," she said. TNN

AJSU Party chief alleges proposed university bill intends to serve self-interests
Ranchi, AJSU Party chief Sudesh Mahto on Tuesday alleged that the proposed bill seeking to enact an umbrella Act for all universities in the state is not intended to reform higher education but to serve self-interests. AJSU Party chief alleges proposed university bill intends to serve self-interests The Jharkhand State University Bill, 2025, was approved by the state cabinet on July 24, and it is likely to be tabled during the upcoming monsoon session of the state assembly. "I don't see that the bill is intended to bring any reform and strengthen the education system in higher education. It is being brought to serve self-interest," Mahto told reporters after the Milan Samaroh, during which several new members joined the party, at AJSU headquarters here. "As per the current system, the control of universities directly lies with the Governor. The government is not able to push its ideology or establish its own people in the current system. Therefore, the game of the new bill was planned," he said. He alleged that no work was started by the government on the National Education Policy . "The government doesn't show any interest to bring qualitative reforms in the syllabus of schools and universities. It has only interest in the posts," Mahto alleged. Jharkhand Rural Development minister Dipika Pandey Singh on Monday said the bill seeking to enact an umbrella Act for all universities, excluding medical and agricultural varsities, will be tabled during the session. The bill will bring revolutionary changes in higher education, and the opposition should support it, she said. The monsoon session of the Jharkhand Assembly will commence from August 1 and will conclude on August 7. There will be five working days during the session. Mahto said the party's main objective is to expose the government and its people during the session. "The people of Jharkhand elected a majority government. But, after eight months of the government, voices have started rising that it is not working in the interest of the people. In 2019, the government came to power by promising domicile and employment policies. They are still pending even after six years," he said.
