Imphal, August 24 2011:
A twin appointment orders through a single order number of the Department of Education (S) has raised a cloud of suspicion in the transparency of the department.
According to a highly reliable source, this newspaper discovered that the Department of Education (S) has issued an appointment order of a Drawing, Dispersion Officer (DDO) in the ZEO Zone II, Imphal East which order number coincides with an order number of another appointment of an Assistant Inspector (AI) in the same office.
According to the source, Under Secretary, Education (S) S Lokendra gave additional charge of AI (IC) to the Headmaster In-Charge of Top Chingtha LP Madrasa Md Abdul Gaffur through an appointment order number 4(8)3/95-SE(S) Pt.-III on June 24.Surprisingly, the Under Secretary himself gave additional charge of DDO to DI (IC) Ch Eraileima of the ZEO through the same order number on August 12 .
While the government is taking up steps to develop education in the state, the recent discovery of twin appointment orders has raised questions on the transparency of the state education department.
Meanwhile, appointing a junior DI as DDO surpassing other senior DIs with qualities to become a DDO has downed the moral of the employees of the ZEO.
There are 20 AIs in the office at present whereas it should have only 10 AIs.
Meanwhile, the recent order of utilizing two teachers out of the four of Kairang Khunjin LP Madrasaa Primary School to Sagolmang Primary School has led the Madrasaa on the verge of extinction.
The Madrasaa which should have at least six teachers, is now being run by only two teachers for the sake of the students.
