Combined Technical Association of Nagaland iterates on P&AR rules

Dimapur, Nov. 18 (EMN): The Combined Technical Association of Nagaland (CTAN) has urged the concerned authority to stand by the P and AR rules in the recruitment process and not come up with unnecessary special drive recruitment in the already confused NPSC.

CTAN has issued a statement while referring to the office letter no. N.HFW(A)COVID-19/APPT-13/17/2020 and cabinet vide NO.CAB/2013 dated 26-05-2022. It pointed out that appointments made on contract/ engagement basis were purely on temporary basis. It added that contractual appointments were meant for one year service to fill the gap of those posts in departments, which are vacated due to promotion/retirements/death etc. so as to keep the office functioning until the time when those vacancies are being requisitioned, advertised and examinations are conducted through NPSC for those vacancies.

Furthermore, it stated that the appointment letters/ offer letters given to those contract employees clearly mentioned about their temporary status for just one year. Therefore, it stated that the contract service and the work experience cannot be used as an extra ordinary provision for people on contract and depriving the rest of the aspirants.

“Out of the many departments in Nagaland, every department is bound to be limited within the P&AR rules laid down for NPSC and there is no existing rule which says, “extra marks or bonus” for people on contract basis,” CTAN stated.

In the light of the above stated circumstances, CTAN urged the concerned authority to be bound by the P&AR rules and not come up with unnecessary special drive recruitment in the already confused NPSC.
