Eastern Naga Students Federation (ENSF) extends deadline to March 25, 2015

Eastern Naga Students Federation (ENSF) at its presidential emergency meeting on February 11, resolved do away with the stand of the government on implementation of agreement signed between ENSF and government on February 26,2013 by declaring March 25 as the deadline for implementation.

ENSF president Shahsha L. Menhahu and general secretary Honang M. Jessuhu, in a joint statement highlighted the February 26 agreement with regard to the following which the state government reportedly agreed to implement:

1. On advertisement for 362 adhoc primary teachers post, ENSF wanted to know what modality the school education department would apply for recruitment. It felt the modalities should be acceptable to ENSF and DoSE so as to avoid anomalies and irregularities.

2. On 304 teachers post under RMSA, the federation demanded that all recruitments should be completed by March 25 and that the 304 teachers be placed in schools by April 5,2015. It said the government had in 2014 assured to do so on the first day of academic session. ENSF pointed out that written tests were held in 2013 but till date, no letter for viva voce has been issued.

3. ENSF also asserted that recruitment of 161 Science and Maths teachers be open for all until such time candidate(s) from the six tribes with requisite qualification were available. ENSF also reaffirmed its stand on the November 26,2013 agreement with the home department and subsequently the meeting between the home commission and ENSF.

Questioning why “backdoor appointments” continue despite excess number of employees and financial crisis, ENSF urged upon the government to advertise 308 posts (inclusive of all ranks) on or before March 25,2015. ENSF said it temporarily called off its proposed agitation on December 1,2014 in view of the visit of the Prime Minister and also extended the deadline to January 26,2015 which was “silenced” due to recent political crisis.

However ENSF urged upon the government in good faith, to implement the agreement before the end of the 2014-15 financial year. It warned that failure to implement it by March 25 would compel it to take recourse to its own action and that its six federating units were directed to be prepared.
