IMPHAL, April 12: As part of the demand for immediate implementation of 200 point roster of Manipur Reservation of vacancies in posts and services for Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribes in respect of engaging daily wage earners in JNIMS, ATSUM drew the attention to JNIMS authority through a memorandum yesterday.
According to a press release of ATSUM said the organisation while applauding the unceasing and tireless effort to have JNIMS recognized by the Medical Council of India (MCI) for starting an MBBS degree course, it was constrained to draw the attention of the authorities for immediate and prompt action pertaining to the engagement of daily wage earners.
It pointed out that with the objective of obtaining recognition from the Medical Council of India (MCI), JNIMS had engaged around 455 daily wage earners in various departments during the last 4 to 5 years to meet the requisite numbers of staff. However, no proper reservation norms were followed in these appointments, it said.
This enormous error of the JNIMS authority had deprived the Scheduled Tribe and other minor communities from availing their rights of reservation, it said.
The memorandum reflected that the Government of Manipur in its cabinet meeting dated May 12 decided to adopt all the daily wage earners as contract staff, which in fact, is a light of hope for all the stakeholders (daily wage earners). However, with the total absence of formal reservation policy at a time of engagement, blunt adoption of wage earners as contract staff will mean nothing but add more salt to the wounds of the tribal people and other minor communities of the state, the release said.
The ATSUM release said it requested the JNIMS to immediately implement 200 point roster of Manipur Reservation of vacancies in posts and services for Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribes in JNIMS in respect of the engaged daily wage earners before the adoption of daily wages earners as contract staff is materialised.
It warned that failing this the ATSUM would be compelled to resort to agitation.
