ABSU irked over job for outsiders in CIT

KOKRAJHAR, Feb 19: The All Bodo Students’ Union (ABSU) today came down heavily against the appointment to outsiders in Central Institute of Technology (CIT), Kokrajhar and warned the authority concerned that the student body will not sit silent if the job for 3rd and 4th grades are not ensured for local unemployed youths.

Speaking to a select section of newspapers, the president of the ABSU Rwngwra Narzary said that the ABSU will not tolerate in absorption of job for Kokrajhar CIT from outside states saying that the technical institute is an outcome of Bodoland movement where more than two thousand people of the region sacrificed their lives. He demanded that cent per cent seats of 3rd and 4th grades should be reserved for local unemployed youths where the unemployment problems are creating insurgencies in the region.

Narzary said that the appointment of three youths from Bihar in the 3rd grade post including clerk and data operator without any interview or advertisement should be cancelled and pushed back. “We have local sentiments and feel being hurt if locals are cheated in their own home where our people sacrificed lives for the cause of the society. He said adding that the ABSU will not sit silent over the matter and will be compelled to take strong agitation if situation demands so.

Established in the year 2006, the CIT situated at Balajan in Kokrajhar, the 3rd of its kind across the country and second in the Northeast after NERTST in Arunachal Pradesh, is an autonomous institute offering integrated degree and PG levels through a three-cycle modular structure. The diploma course was started in 2006 and degree course from 2009. The post graduate course would commence in 2012 while it would be upgraded to a centrally funded university in 2013. source: sentinel assam
