| Brazen violation of recruitment rules | | IMFA threw rules to winds just to appease their favourites | | Jammu Aug 16
Throwing the set rules for appointment as Instructors in the Institute of Music and Fine Arts to winds, the favorites have been getting the prize jobs simply by obtaining a certificate course from the Institute.
As per the existing recruitment rules the minimum qualification prescribed for the filling up the posts of Instructors has been degree in fine arts with specialization in the concerned branch from a recognized university or Matriculation with 5- year diploma course from a statutory University in the respective branch.
Regrettably the situation prevailing in the Institute is altogether different having little regard to the prescribed recruitment norms.
If the records of the Institute are to be believed some of the instructors, who doesn’t even posses minimum qualifications, are performing the job of Instructors for the last few years. The insiders on condition of anonymity said that number of the existing Instructors have been appointed merely on production of provisional certificates issued by IMFA which has no authority to issue such certificates. How they have been issuing these certificates puts a question mark of the working of the Institute. IMFA is affiliated with Jammu and Kashmir Academy of Art, Culture and Languages while examination for different courses in IMFA is conducted by the University of Jammu.
According to the sources, before seventies, there was provision of getting jobs on Certificate Course, but after seventies the minimum qualification for the post was prescribed degree or five years diploma.. But some of senior employees somehow managed to adjust their kith and kin and well-wishers on instructor posts without the prescribed qualification.
Sources said that during 1979, some instructors managed to get jobs on certificates courses with the connivance of some high ups of the Academy. Sources also said that the candidature of one of the instructors who applied for the post of instructor in Chandigarh Arts College on the basis of the certificate course obtained from the State Academy was rejected as they did not consider the course as a degree or equivalent to any degree or a diploma. But, alas, those possessing such certificate course certificates are continuing to rule the roost in Jammu and Kashmir, ignoring the claims of the well qualified degree holders. ‘Is it not a brazen violation of the departmental recruitment rules,’ the sources question?
