AGARTALA, May 29 (TIWN): With another major shock to the quality education of state, Tripura's highly qualified unemployed youths revealed that state is burdened with 600 number of scholars, who have completed their P.hD or already passed SLET/ NET under UGC. But since 6 to 7 years there is no recruitment for Asst Professors whereas Colleges are still undergoing heavy crisis of Asst Professors. Tripura Govt although busy in College building inaugurations with Central funds; with the additional desire of becoming number one in literacy, education, higher education rate but the Colleges which are 90 % dominated by SFI, DYFI and plenty of guest lecturers; lack sufficient number of Assistant Professors. Even though state govt under the pressure of Election, Supreme Court suddenly showering sympathy for B.Ed qualified unemployed youths.
But the 600 youths who are double qualified than B.Ed holders they have no job, rather sheltered in colleges with part time jobs or as guest lecturers.
For the first time, when state govt is acting as the beneficiary of 10,323 school teachers, then the NET /SLET/ P.hD qualified candidates have made a forum named 'All Tripura Unemployed NET/ SET / P.hD' and joined together to fight back unemployment that has become their fates, even though they deserved more.
