MANIT permanent staff axed: 62 appointments cancelled!

In a major shake-up, the Human Resources Department (HRD) has reportedly cancelled the appointments of 62 permanent teachers and other staffers of the Maulana Azad National Institute of Technology (MANIT) who were appointed in 2005.

The appointments were illegal and in violation of norms. The HRD ministry has decided to terminate services of assistant professors and lecturers other than technicians and staff members who were appointed without following the procedures and set norms for employment in NITs.

An inquiry in the past had also found massive irregularities. The entire process of appointments had come under scanner. The HRD minister Kapil Sibal has finally given ascent to the action. After working for five years, these permanent employees are likely to be sacked.
