Eastern Naga Students’ Federation (ENSF) has decided to lift the abeyance notice issued earlier on Socio-Economic Caste Census (SECC) across Eastern Nagaland. ENSF had said that SECC exercise in Tuensang, Mon, Longleng and Kiphire would be kept in abeyance till the state government invited Government of India officials and convened a consultative meeting with the federation.
Speaking to Nagaland Post Saturday, ENSF general secretary, Changsang Soted said that the implementing department and respective administrations should also convene an awareness programme with ENSF federating units in their district headquarters and sub-division of Shamator and Noklak latest by February 12 so that they could disseminate adequate information to the people in rural areas.
The decision has been based on the written “assurance” from the Joint secretary, SECC implementing department, government of Nagaland, Neposo Thulu on January 16.
SECC 2011 was formally launched in Nagaland with chief minister Neiphiu Rio becoming the first person to be enumerated at his residential office in Kohima on January 16.
A letter dated January 13, 2012, addressed to ENSF general secretary, the state government through the Commissioner & secretary, Rural development V. Sakhrie, had allayed the ENSF’s apprehension with a four points explanation and sought their cooperation for making SECC 2011 operation a grand success.
It was clarified that SECC, 2011 was a nation-wide exercise being conducted throughout the country by the central government through the state governments to assess the socio-economic status of the people.
He further clarified that the term ‘caste’ used in SECC operation had nothing to do with the state of Nagaland which was a recognized tribal state under the Constitution of India. SECC 2011 operation was only a nomenclature to determine the socio-economic status of all citizens in the country.
The letter from the state government said that it had no mala-fide intentions whatsoever but was only trying to implement the welfare programme of the central government purely in the interest of the people.
Cautions state police department on recruitment.
Meanwhile, ENSF also asked the Nagaland police department to clarify when and on which media was the advertisement for posts of more than 700 constables was advertised and inquired if the 25% job reservation was maintained in the same advertisement.
ENSF said if the issue was not publicly clarified, more than 700 posts would be recruited through “back door appointment”.
While stating that ENSF also learnt that the scrutiny test for the constable posts were going to be held on February 8, 9 and 10 at the police training centre, the student federation asserted that educated unemployed youth of the state should get equal share in the posts.
ENSF also said that the advertisement for the recruitment of 22 ABSI and UBSI posts was made in 2011 but the ongoing training was taking around 200 candidates.
It wanted to know from where the additional posts have been created and why the same was not advertised. While urging the DGP and Home minister of Nagaland to immediately cancel the ABSI and UBSI, ENSF also demanded to strictly maintain the 25% job reservation policy. It warned of initiating stringent action if the matter were not rectified at the earliest.
