AGARTALA, July 26 (TIWN): With unique example in the whole country, Tripura Govt has recorded for taking interviews for non-teaching posts asking ‘teaching experience’ as the obligatory qualification to apply for the posts. But it can be recalled that it was on July-6 that Central HRD Minister for State Dr Mahendra Nath Pande said that if any recruitment comes under MHRD guidelines than the central govt will not have any problem, but if not then “'Central Govt is not sitting to permit recruitments violating MHRD guidelines”. With the peculiar eligibility being asked by Tripura Govt have deprived the degree holders of library science, who couldn’t appeal for the post just because they do not have teaching experience. Although Tripura Govt said that 'We have created 12000 posts, so Eligibility also we will decide', but at the end the state govt can keep its promise or not it's uncertain.

In the a press conference Union Minister of State of Human Resource Development Dr Mahendra Nath Pande replying a media question said, 'If Tripura Govt's recruitment process followed by MHRD guidelines then, there will be no issue but if not Central Govt is not sitting to give permission for the posts'.

 The Minister said so, after he was acknowledged that Tripura Govt is asking teaching experience to apply for non-teaching posts, whereas some of the posts do notexist in any school or office in whole India; whether some are out of world dictionary.

Giving a signal that 'Tripura Govt is with 10,323 teachers' Minister Tapan Chakraborty declared on May-27 that 12,000 posts in Education Dept to be filled up (even though State Govt has no money). Whereas since years, 2000 posts could not been filled up, all of a sudden Tripura Govt has released offer for 12,000 Education Dept Employees posts in 4 categories to save 10,323 teachers, that generated much resentment among the 7 lakhs of unemployed youths in Tripura. Reportedly, as for 1) Academic Councilor 1200 posts, 2) Student Councilor 3,400, 3) School Library Assistant 1,500, 4) School Assistant 5,600 posts & 1000 others under Social Welfare Dept.

The 1,500 assistant librarians posts created by Tripura Govt recently asked a 5 years teaching experience whereas no degree on Library science was required. But what surprising matter is that whereas a person can sit in interview for Asst Librarian posts, with 5 years of experience of teaching, but a person already having a library science degree is not allowed to sit in the interview. Meeting the Education Minister Tapan Chakraborty, the Library Science graduates asked Minister Tapan Chakraborty on May-31 how the library science graduates will gather teaching experience ? Which school will provide a librarian a teaching job ?

 Neither Govt nor private schools can appoint a Librarian or Asst Librarian as an Asst Teachers across the world. So how the librarians will gather teaching experience for 5 years ?

In the similar fashion for non-teaching posts Govt asked 3 or 5 years of teaching experience in each posts. In this condition, when HRD Minister was asked about the solution the Minister clearly said,  recruitments that are 'violating guidelines of MHRD will be cancelled'.
