SHILLONG, Feb 13: The NEHU Non-Teaching Staff Association (NEHUNSA) on Thursday urged Union Minister of Education, Dharmendra Pradhan to take immediate steps to resolve the crisis in the university.
In a statement, NEHUNSA president Wandondor Rynjah Synrem said that the university cannot function without a proper administration and the regular functioning of the offices.
He said the non-teaching employees of the university play a crucial role in this administrative process as they are actively involved in the admission process, registration of the students, processing the scholarship/fellowship, conduct of examination etc.
“As mentioned in our earlier letter, the strength of the non-teaching staff is rapidly declining to the extent that the regular affairs of the university are getting disturbed. We have also mentioned that the non-teaching positions have been advertised but are pending appointment,” he said.
The NEHUNSA president further stated that the current acting Vice Chancellor is not holding any Executive Council meeting which is crucial for the advertised posts to be filled up.
They appealed to the Union minister to direct the acting VC to do the needful to prevent any further damage to the very purpose for which NEHU was established.
