Gustakhi Maaf Haryana-Pawan Kumar Bansal
By our enlightened reader Satish Mehra .Beginning of ending reservations in Jobs by HPSC.
Haryana, a state that has produced far more competent officers than its proportion of population and geographical area through various national-level competitive examinations, is today lagging behind in producing ideal and quality teachers. In this context, should the blame lie with the state’s educational institutions, the academic environment, teachers, or the recruitment process of the Haryana Public Service Commission (HPSC)? One thing is certain: the inability of Haryana’s youth—who have cleared the NET examination as many as six times and even secured JRF ranks—to succeed in HPSC examinations is a matter of serious concern and reflection.
This raises a pertinent question: is there a flaw in the intent of HPSC when it comes to selecting suitable teachers?
The new recruitment process implemented by the Haryana Public Service Commission, particularly the mandatory requirement of securing 35 percent marks in the Subject Knowledge Test (SKT), has fallen like a mountain on the future of young aspirants. This condition was introduced in the name of ensuring quality, but the outcome has been that thousands of posts have remained vacant and a large number of eligible candidates have been excluded from the selection process. Most importantly, this recruitment procedure appears to be an attempt to completely dismantle the reservation policy.
An aspirant named Dr. Mukesh Kumar, who belongs to the OSC category, narrates his ordeal. He says that he bore the expenses of his education by working as a laborer during holidays and successfully cleared the NET examination six times. Despite this, HPSC failed him in the Subject Knowledge Test (SKT), thereby closing the doors to his dream of becoming an Assistant Professor. He states that his pain is not merely about failing the exam; rather, his greatest concern is that when parents come to know that even children who have cleared the NET exam six times are being excluded from the recruitment process, how will they be encouraged to pursue higher education? In the future, this issue appears likely to become a grave problem not only for candidates from reserved categories but also for those from the general category. Moreover, in this recruitment process, only a few selected candidates have been declared successful, most of whom are from other states.
