Imphal, July 30 2017:
A strong allegation has been raised that some ineligible candidates were appointed to Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalaya (KGBV), Shikhong Sekmai through a DPC held recently .
Notably, Shikhong Sekmai is located within Heirok AC, the home constituency of Education Minister Th Radheshyam .
The DC concerned who is also the District Board of Education Chairman issued a notification on May 24 this year for appointment of some staff including warden, full time teacher, part time teacher, full time accountant, head cook etc on contract basis for 11 months .
Accordingly, a walk-in-interview was held .
However, when some rejected/unsuccessful candidates filed an RTI application, it was found that some ineligible candidates were selected .
As per the notification, the essential qualifications for full time teacher are Graduate, two year Diploma in Elementary Education or BEd and TET .
However, BEd certificate furnished by one person who was appointed as full time Mathematics teacher was found to be one not recognised by NCTE .
Earlier, the application of the particular candidate was rejected during appointment of RMSA teachers citing that his BEd certificate was not recognised .
Again, the TET (passed) certificate submitted by another candidate was for Social Studies whereas she was appointed as full time Science teacher .
Further, another candidate who was selected as head cook has a different name in the HSLC certificate she submitted .
One candidate who was not included in the list of short-listed candidates was found appointed to the post of warden, informed a source.
