CTAN, NNQF to host public dialogue on recruitment transparency and requisition issue

• DIMAPUR — The Combined Technical Association of Nagaland (CTAN) and the Nagaland NET Qualified Forum (NNQF) have announced a public dialogue to be held on June 7, at 11:00 am at the Angami Women Organisation Hall in Kohima.
• 
  
• The event will focus on the requisition of the contentious 147 assistant professor and librarian posts to the Nagaland Public Service Commission (NPSC), alongside issues related to “open competition, fair recruitment process and transparency.”
• 
  
• According to a press statement issued on Wednesday, the dialogue is being organised in response to what the two organisations describe as the Nagaland government’s continued silence following the expiry of a requisition deadline set earlier this month.
• 
  
• “Given the lapse of the deadline and the silence of the Government on the issue of requisition, the CTAN and NNQF through the public dialogue intend to create a platform for discussion. This public discussion is aimed at bringing in varied perspectives with regard to the requisition debate while also raising public awareness and identifying probable solutions,” the statement read.

• The organisations stated that the public dialogue “goes beyond the issue of requisition” as it will discuss related concerns of fair recruitment process, open competition, and transparency in the Common Educational Services Examination. “Therefore, it is pertinent that the stakeholders and the public are made aware of it and have a say in their fundamental right to equal opportunity.”
• 
  
• CTAN and NNQF have invited all concerned citizens, stakeholders, and government authorities to participate in what they described as a “peaceful and democratic assertion of rights.”
