Orissa government colleges have a faculty crisis

Following is an excerpt from a report in Expressbuzz.com.

Currently, Orissa has 29 lead or Grade-I colleges where a professor-grade person will be the principal and for the degree colleges a reader-grade person has to become a principal, but despite assurances, the State Government is yet to come out with a complete list of eligible candidates. On the other hand, since 1998 no selection was made for lecturer posts of UGC-grade for the degree and lead colleges making the situation worse.

a reader-grade person has to become a principal, but despite assurances, the State Government is yet to come out with a complete list of eligible candidates. On the other hand, since 1998 no selection was made for lecturer posts of UGC-grade for the degree and lead colleges making the situation worse.

… Contacted, Higher Education Secretary Madhusudan Padhi said as the `functional structure is based on a pyramidal concept’, there are many `issues’ to be addressed at grass-root level and the Department had already given a requisition to the Orissa Public Service Commission to recruit 2,800 junior lecturers at the earliest.

Computer Science to be introduced in more general colleges: Samaja

December 1st, 2008

General Colleges count in various Orissa districts – work in progress

The left four columns(*) in the following list is based on the lists at http://orissagov.nic.in/highereducation/DistBlockWise_College_list.htm and http://orissagov.nic.in/highereducation/actsrules.htm. It seems both these lists are not up-to-date. For example, neither list has any colleges in the Boudha district. However, the Boudha district web pages mention it having 9 colleges. Using Google some of the colleges one can find in Boudha are Boudh Panchayat College and Gandharadi College. The rightmost column (**) is based on going to the district web pages and getting information there. That is also not up-to-date as in recent years numerous junior (+2) colleges have opened.
