Postpone exams

Dear Editor,
This is a request to the concerned authority of Department of Education, Arunachal
Pradesh to kindly reconsider the schedule of written exam for Senior Teachers as
there are lot of Unemployed Arunachali students busy preparing for the upcoming APPSCCE-
I firmly believe that the authority concerned will look into our requests who are equally worried about the future of all the aspiring candidates and the unemployment situation in our State.

Dear Editor,
I would like to request the Director of Secondary Education to postpone the schedule date for the written examination for the post of Senior Teacher for various subjects. As the date fixed by the concerned authority is quite hectic because on 25/09/2011 the prestigious preliminary Test for Combined competitive exam is scheduled to be held. Then after a gap of 12 days i.e on 8/10/2011& 9/10/2011, APPSC has fixed the date for the written test for DSO/RO.
Therefore, I once again request the concerned authority of Department of Education to reconsider the date fixed for the written test for the post of Senior Teacher so that all the unemployed eligible Arunachali are given a chance to appear in all the interviews.
Yours

When we will have to stand in Ganga Market
Dear Editor,
Unemployment engineering graduates are booming in the state so much so that a day
is not far away when we will have to stand in Ganga Market as daily wage labourers
at rate below the actual labours or you may hear an engineer shouting "bathroom 200
rs", "road 350"...... with their drafters, t-
Unsurprisingly the big question is why? A state which is way behind the main stream
India in terms of infrastructure and basic requirements and numerous projects on
hand, doesn't require engineers only because of mismanagement by authorities of almost
all the departments. For instance, departments like police housing are endorsed with
Rs 30 crore or more every year for infrastructural development. Guess how many engineers
are deployed by them to carry out such big works? Only few 3-
This is clear violation of Human resource and C.P.W.D guidelines. Also, the lesser deployment of engineers increases the workload which in turn reduces both his intellectual as well as physical ability which finally results in retarded growth and development.
Therefore, I request the Chief Minister to instruct all departmental heads to follow the guidelines and create necessary number of posts so that development at required rates can be achieved and also unemployment can be reduced. After all any failure by them will be credited to the Chief Minister and his government.
Yours,
Unemployed

Please update the website
Dear Editor,
I would like to know about the use of official website of the APPSC, which is not updated. Although there is an official website of APPSC, which is outdated, we have to depend on Arunachal Times, for any information – advertisement, date of exam., postponement of exams, etc. Result of selected list in any exams are uploaded many days after that has been published in the local dailies,. Very interestingly, as per their website report on organisation of APPSC Staff, there is no Computer Operator or Expert in the Commission’s office. I wondered why website has been created if there is no expert and if it is not to be updated. In other PSC one can apply online, have access online admit card, but it doesnot with our Commission. For Admit card/Hall Ticket one has to depend on the Indian Postal Service. In case of misplacement in the Post Office, God knows what will happen to the aspirant.
This is what I exactly experienced this time, as I didn’t get my admit card and I have to spare two days in Commission’s office in order to get Duplicate Admit Card. Thank God! I can come to Commission’s office for Duplicate Admit Card, but what about those aspirants who reside in far flung areas? I hope the APPSC will certainly look into this.
Yours,
Aspirant, (on email)
An appeal
Dear Editor,
It is to bring before the notice of Government, legislators, Panchayat Leaders, NGOs, Students unions of Changlang District that the Govt Hr Sec School Nampong, Miao, Bordumsa, Jairampur etc. are running without regular Senior teacher in Chemistry, Mathematics, History, English etc. for the last two years. The vacancy caused are either due to selection of some Senior Teacher to the Post of Lecturer in State Institution of Education Itanagar or on account of Retirement on superannuation from service. As a result, the classes of such subject cannot be conducted as Junior Teacher despite having required subject in MA/M Sc, are reluctant to take up classes in Class XI and XII.
There is no ST(Chemistry) at Govt Hr Sec School Nampong since last year after retirement O P Gaur and there is no ST(History/English) at newly up graded GHSS Jairampur while there is no ST(Maths) at GHSS Miao followed by GHSS Bordumsa etc, Not only this, there is no Gazetted Head Master at Govt Sec School Manmao, Namtok, Gidding, Yanman, Ponthai etc. since last 2(two) years as all those HMs of said schools left above school on promotion to higher status and no Reliever have been posted to these places till date.
Consequently, the ultimate Sufferer are Students as Senior most JTs are looking after all these schools as I/C HM which have limited power to command upon colleagues, students as general tendencies prevail that we are of same status.
Hence, I appeal the responsible persons is to post required Staff these Schools as we cannot produce good academic result without proper subject teacher.
I have seen and experienced the negligence of all categories toward Educational Institutions and its Infrastructural Development after serving my tenure as Vice Principal at GHSS Miao, Head Master at Govt Sec School Manmao and at present as Principal GHSS Nampong for the last five years. Posting of required teachers will be the only way to improve academic performance in the district.
Yours,
Tomi Doke Lendo
Principal
Govt Hr Sec School, Nampoong
