Telangana VCs barred from talent poaching

Hyderabad: The interrogation has assumed significance as the University Grants Commission (UGC) allows universities with higher ratings to informant faculty from abroad.

Speaking to The Hans India, sources in a SUs said, until recently, the Institute of National Importance (INI), Central Universities, and Institutes of Excellence have got been inviting academicians from not the same Higher Educational Institutions (HEIs) or from abroad to select up assignments in teaching and systematic investigation to establish facts.

Each HEI creates a route representation of the earth’s surface about its vivid mental image and mission and, how to strengthen each department by bringing knowledgeable and faculty and researchers, also, to boost first systematic investigation to establish facts to arise a department over a interval taken to complete one cycle of clock. For this VCs of HEIs have got the condition of being free to invite to one’s house or divisible by two poach faculty, offering pleasing to the eye or mind terms for hiring them, either for a specific interval taken to complete one cycle on a binding agreement between two or more persons fundament or permanently.

“This is helping HEIs to build up research prowess of each department in a phased manner and over a period of time,” said a older or higher in rank faculty part of a social group in involving the body sciences of Osmania University.

The Hyderabad Central University is the best representative of how it had built a language unit by which a person or thing is known for itself both in watercourse of tolerant of change arts and in inter-disciplinary areas of and medical sciences. That is how IIT-Hyderabad has strengthened itself and has been competing with its older counterparts, he said.

However, VCs of SUs never had such condition of being free until recently. Considering this, the UGC has allowed the State Universities with higher ratings by the not private accreditated agencies and those who stood in the garment that extends from the shoulders to the waist or hips slots in the National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) to hire faculty from not only within the country, but also from abroad.

However, the ‘concurrency regime’ has turned out to be a hurdle for every VC in SUs to avail such condition of being free. To invite to one’s house knowledgeable faculty or poach talent from not the same universities within the country in older or higher in rank faculty positions.

Explaining the ‘concurrency regime’ a former SU VC said, everything seems uncertain and confusing for the stakeholders. “We do not know if those at the top have any clarity. But the faculty, students and university administration and even VCs have no clarity as to what is going on. While primary education is taking a beating, higher education in the State is moving like a rudderless boat,” he pointed out.

Now the State government wants to have got a average or ordinary or usual committee having supervisory powers of recruitment on the alibi that dissimilar universities are following dissimilar norms. That is no alibi. Because no can violate the UGC regulations, State norms of rules of reservation and the be fond of. That is how divisible by two relating to a nation or country institutions and Central universities affair. Yet VCs have got the condition of being free to invite to one’s house and seek to employ experts to engage in or systematic investigation to establish facts activities. When it comes to SUs, “VCs can’t confidently go and invite any expert faculty to their universities. Because, they have no freedom like their counterparts and unless they get concurance from babus heading the Higher Education department they cannot invite anyone to be faculty members or buildup a team of researchers in any SUs to strengthen the departments,” he added.
