Telangana: CPI demands Dharmendra Pradhan’s dismissal for failing to fill up vacancies

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: The Communist Party of India (CPI) has demanded Prime Minister Narendra Modi to dismiss the Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan from the cabinet for his ‘irresponsible behaviour’ of ‘failing’ to fill vacancies in central universities.
CPI national secretary K Narayana, in a letter to the Prime Minister, said that Pradhan was fueling regional differences among people in Andhra Pradesh and Odisha borders by giving slogans like ‘Andhras go back’.
“The issues of people in 20 villages bordering Andhra and Odisha were yet to be solved while on the contrary, the Union Minister was trying to create tensions,” said the CPI secretary.

“Further, there are 45 central universities, 23 IITs and 20 IIMs in the country. According to reliable sources, in these prestigious Institutions, nearly 11,050 faculty posts were lying vacant,” he added.
Deliberating on the vacancies, Narayana said, “Altogether 6,028 faculty posts in central universities, 4526 in IITs, and 496 in IIMs were lying vacant apart from thousands of non-teaching staff kept vacant.”
Stressing that ‘brain drain’ is in full swing in the country, Narayana said that educated people from India were joining as professors in many prestigious universities like Harvard, Oxford and Cambridge.
“A developing country like India needs many brilliant professors, who can prepare many administrators with technical know-how and in the field of business administration as well,” he said.
“We should concentrate on permanently filling up faculty vacancies from time to time to put brakes on brain drain,” he added.

Centre open to views on new education policy: Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan

[ad_1]
Coimbatore: The National Education Policy (NEP) is not a document containing few pages but has lot of new features for the benefit of students, said Union Education and Skill Development Minister Dharmendra Pradhan here on Saturday.
Though education is in the concurrent list of the States, the Centre expects Tamil Nadu to accept NEP, he said.
The Union government is open to ideas and new methods when it comes to NEP, Pradhan said while addressing the 34th convocation of Avinashilingam Institute for Home Science and Higher Education for Women in the city.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has emphatically said that all should learn mother tongue and the NEP will help to learn, read and write in mother tongue in foundational years, he said and added that the government has asked the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) to publish books in all Indian languages from this academic year onwards.
The holistic development of the children will be better if they study in mother tongue and India’s education focuses on employability, empowerment and enlightenment, he said.
Stating that technology was new disrupter, the Union Minister said millions of people use mobile phones. “Internet and smart phones are basic requirements and we were dependent on foreign technologies like android or ios. However, IIT Madras has developed technology for the indigenous 5G a few days ago,” he pointed out.
Referring to COVID-19 vaccines, Pradhan said, “Indians have taken the vaccine, but no one in the world got certificate within a few seconds after taking it like our country. It is such type of technology we are developing in India.”
Highlighting about women empowerment, the Union Minister said, “Tamil Nadu is much more ahead of rest of the country and the State has highest number of working women in the country. India is the mother of democracy and Tamil Nadu the epicenter.”
During India’s G20 Presidency this year, “I expect discussion and deliberation takes place about it in the university,” he said.

Later, replying to a question on decreased budget allocation for NEP, the Union Minister said that it was a wrong information. “The government and Finance Ministry were extending full support to the new education policy and in the next budget more funds will be allocated,” he said.
