Kangpokpi, June 18 2014:
All Tribal Students' Union Manipur today postponed its proposed felicitation programme of tribal successful candidates of MPSCCE-2013 on June 27 at Classic Hotel, Imphal which was earlier scheduled on June 23.In the meantime, the tribal student's apex body lauded the State Govt for finally introducing the Manipur Education Service (MES) .
Education Secretary of ATSUM, Kakam Haokip said the proposed felicitation programme of tribal successful candidates of MPSCCE-2013 which was earlier fixed on June 23 has been postponed on June 27 due to unavoidable circumstances.
While regretting for not able to inform personally regarding the matter ATSUM appealed all the successful candidates and invitees to attend the programme on June 27 at the same venue and time.
Recalling that at CAUCAS 2005 held at Churachandpur ATSUM urged the State Govt to introduce Manipur Education Service so as to avoid room for corruption in recruitment of teachers Kakam Haokip on behalf of the ATSUM lauded the State Govt for finally introducing the student body's proposed Manipur Education Service in the State.
Jarnail Singh, former Chief Secretary of Manipur was the chief guest at CAUCAS 2005 while GOC 59 Mountain Division Maj.General GG Dwivedi was the guest of honour where the ATSUM in the larger interest of the tribal people suggested the State Govt for introducing MES in the State Kakam Haokip continued while adding that after nine long years the State Government has ultimately saw the suggestion of ATSUM in 2005 was actually a workable idea.
ATSUM would have been more satisfied had the Government bifurcate the recently introduced MES into two separate service viz Manipur Hills Education Service (MHES) and Manipur Valley Education Service (MVES) so that there would be no transfer and posting problems, ATSUM Education Secretary noted while adding that the teachers recruited for Manipur Hills Education Service will be posted in the Hills till retirement and vice verse and the same to the teachers recruited for Valley if it has been bifurcated.
