The employees working under the corporation like Manipur Housing Corporation lament they will not be getting pension after retirement from their respective service. Likewise fresh entrants to the Government jobs too will not be getting pension. They need not worry over the matter. Because the Government decision not to give pension to the new entrants of Government service is a good decision. Frankly speaking they do not deserve it. Pension should be for those who work sincerely and honestly. These employees wasted their time in office without doing anything. If others can survive without getting Government help why cannot they? When they are in Government service they have got double benefit. As they continue to draw pay they make themselves available for doing other lucrative business. Doctors attend private clinics to earn extra money despite getting non practising allowance. Teachers did other business like contract work and supplying of items to different Government departments. All these palatial buildings that are coming up fast in the heart of the town and elsewhere belong to Government employees. Unemployed persons cannot find the space for survival in Manipur. Therefore even the students, who would have otherwise pursued Ph. D in physics and chemistry, have appeared in the TET to become primary teachers. These days very few students have turned out to pursue M. Sc. in mathematics. They all had gone for taking up other subjects like bio and zoology. If a survey is carried out everything will become crystal clear. The survey will be able to know why these students are not going for serious subjects. There is not much scope for development of science in Manipur. But when the Prime Minister Dr. Manmohon Singh was asked by scribes some time back for telling a simple formula for speedy development of NE region as a whole and Manipur in particular he said tell the young children to pursue physics, chemistry and maths. That will bring development in the region. But on the contrary science is neglected here in Manipur. The recent speech made by Dr. Manmohon on the national science day also reflected the Union Government’s desire to focus on the development of science. A system needs to be evolved to see to it that highly educated students, who could have gone further doing research in the subjects of their choice, are debarred from appearing in the TET. These highly educated students will be a square into the round hole when they teach primary level students. Frankly speaking they will neglect their duty. Such brilliant students becoming primary level teachers will be wastage of Government money. The posts should be reserved for mediocre. Unfortunately it happens in Manipur these highly educated students attempt to keep everything under their domain. While teaching primary level students they will appear for college lecturers’ posts also. Being brilliant they will shine in the same selection test also. But what they do not know is that they had abrogated the rights of someone to become a primary teacher when he or she did not cross the age for becoming a Government teacher. Evolve a system to see to it that the right person gets the right job. Similarly an MA should be debarred from becoming a police constable. He will remain thinking when he is asked to act.
