Andhra Pradesh
By Our Special Correspondent
A new Director, Sasanka Goel, had taken charge of the Board a few days ago, Mr. Farook said, pointing out that there were several complaints against the Board and the ACB and the Vigilance Department had also pointed out to certain irregularities in the purchase of papers, revaluation of answer scripts, etc. The revamp would be completed soon, he said. Mr. Farook said with a view to improving facilities like buildings, laboratories, etc, for the Intermediate classes, Rs. 7 crores had been sanctioned. Rs. 5 crores had been sanctioned separately for Junior Colleges in the tribal areas, he said. He said arrangements were made for giving coaching for EAMECT after regular classes. About 4,000 lecturers were trained for the purpose. On the large number of vacancies in Government junior colleges, Mr. Farook said permission had been given for engaging lecturers on contract basis. They would be paid a monthly salary of Rs. 4,000 (in urban) and Rs. 5,000 (in rural) areas, he said. Depending on requirement, any number of lecturers could be taken on contract, he said. Answering a question, the Minister said there was one junior college in Visakhapatnam district which achieved "one per cent'' result, on the contrary the Government Junior College in Movva (Krisha district) got 88 per cent result. He had proposed punishment in the form of stopping increments to staff getting poor percentage of results and incentives to others. About the reluctance on the part of students to take up engineering courses, leading to a number seats remaining unfilled, Mr. Farook said as in the case of SCs and STs, minorities would also be given seats if only they appeared for the EAMCET, irrespective of the rank they obtained. But even after this, hundreds of seats reserved for minorities remained unfilled, the Minister pointed out. He said that steps would be taken to start new course in fashion technology, plumbing, etc. There was great demand in European countries like Germany for trained personnel in fashion technology, nursing, plumbing etc. He said steps were taken to issue identity cards to all college students, to regulate admissions into various colleges including private colleges.
