Recruitment by PSC sought

KOCHI: A group of Scheduled Caste/Scheduled Tribe organisations is planning to launch a mass agitation to demand that the recruitment to all posts in aided schools and colleges be made by the Public Service Commission and not by the respective managements.

Leaders of the organisations said here that the practice of the government footing the salary bills of teachers and other staff of the private institutions was ridiculous.

The Church and the Nair Service Society, which ran many of these aided institutions, were opposing any change in this practice out of their own self-interests, they saidM. Geethanandan, general secretary, Rashtreeya Mahasabha, pointed out that the State government was spending Rs.4000 crore a year on these institutions for salaries and other expenses. But, these institutions followed neither social justice ideals nor any recruitment norms such as SC/ST reservation.
