Appointment of Lecturers: Immediate Need of the
Hour

After a
long period of exploitation by its predecessors,
Bihar is now rising up from the ashes of
backwardness, corruption and vitiated
educational condition,thanks to the viable
initiative of the current Chief Minister Shri
Nitish Kumar. It goes without saying that many a
positive change has, no doubt, taken place here
which shows that Bihar is marching ahead on the
path of progress almost in each and every field
whether education, roads, thus checking the
unbridled corruption and so on and so forth. For
this Mr. Kumar has won and is still winning the
laurel not only in Bihar but outside also for
setting the things right on right track.
However, I am of the opinion that a lot of work
still needs to be done with positive attitude.
In spite of the changes that happened and are
still taking place, the condition of college and
university education remains the same. Nothing
is being done for improving the deplorable and
pitiable condition of higher education. No
constitution of College Service Commission, no
examinations, no appointment of fresh lecturers.
It is sad that not many BET qualifiers have got
any appointment as lecturers. It is often
reported that a large number of posts of
professors, readers and lecturers are lying
vacant in colleges and universities since long.
But the authorities concerned are not worried at
all about all this. If this continues ,the days
are not far when all colleges and universities
have to see the closure because of paucity of
competent and highly qualified teachers. Even
today it is very rare to find a competent and
well qualified teachers of English except a few
ones who, though neglected and unknown inside
home, are earning name and fame outside Bihar by
writing books after books. Many students with
higher degree are getting jobs of lectures
outside and they are all proving their mettle .
In view of the above, the Chief Minister of
Bihar must improve the poor condition of
education , particularly that of higher
education by following the way Jharkhand
Government conducted Jharkhand Eligibility Test
(JET NET) for appointment of lecturers to to the
vacant posts. In this way, the unemployed youths
with sound educational background will get the
golden opportunity to show and prove their
academic caliber. Government should also develop
full-fledged websites for BPSC, College Service
Commission (is it really going to be
constituted?).
I am hopeful that the Government of Bihar must
pay heed to the above points to bring out the
radical revolutionary changes even in higher
education at all levels.
