The Raj Bhawan has questioned the state human resources development minister Brishen Patel's statement that over 5,000 vacancies exist in universities of the state. Instead, according to it,there are surplus college teachers in Magadh
University.
The Raj Bhawan has detected 97 surplus teachers in the course of its rationalization exercise. The exercise is to be conducted for all the universities of the state. At present, Magadh University (Bodh Gaya) and Jaya Prakash Narayan University, Chapra, have been taken up for this purpose.
Though the human resources development minister on Wednesday announced that there exist 5,000 vacancies and it was shortly going to fill it soon, the Raj Bhawan seems to have thrown spanner in its plan. Not only that the Chancellor's office is for the first time working out the requirement of teachers on the basis of the existing strength of students.
