Patna, (Bihar Times): The state government is
considering some changes in Bihar Universities Act,
1976 and the PU Act, 1976 to vest more power in the
hands of the Chancellor-cum-Governor of the
universities of Bihar. This will enable the office of
the Chancellor to frame a common statute to carry out
fresh recruitments of teachers in all colleges and
universities.

After the dissolution of the Bihar State University
Service Commission, Bihar State College Service
Commission and Bihar State Inter-University Board the
powers of recruitment and promotion were vested in the
hands vice chancellors.
According to the principal secretary, human resources
development department, Anjani Kumar Singh, since
there is some vagueness in it the state governemt is
trying to take care of the grey areas.
Reports said that before going ahead with recruitments
the government and the office of Chancellor have
reached an understanding to first streamline the
system by carrying out rationalization of teachers to
reassess the actual vacancies in college and
universities. This has been further necessitated
because Plus-Two education is now no more carried in
colleges. Teachers from over-staffed colleges would be
transferred to the under-staffed colleges. This will
be done keeping in mind the strength of the students
in the college.
Singh said that principals holding the posts for 15 to
20 years would also be transferred. They can not go on
holding the post in the same college for ever.
The process of rationalization of teachers was started
by the Raj Bhawan last year. This followed the
statement by the human resources development minister,
Brishen Patel, that the state government would appoint
5,000 more college teachers. The Chancellor office
soon denied that there was any under-staffing and need
for appointment of teachers. Though the minister said
that there was about 1650 vacancies in Magadh
University alone, the Raj Bhawan said that in fact
there are 97 surplus teacher in this very university.
