Retired lecturers from the existing colleges
in Siliguri would be inducted as teaching faculty for the
two new colleges coming up at Sevoke Road and Naxalbari in
Siliguri sub-division.
According to Mr Partha Sarathi Das, principal-in-charge of
the Munshi Prem Chand Mahavidalaya coming up at Sevoke Road,
the college would recruit five subject teachers for English,
Bengali, History, Political Science and Education on a part-time
basis. Likewise, the Naxalbari Mahavidalaya would also hire
five part-time teachers.
“Our priority would be to induct retired lecturers,
but in case there is scarcity, we would give appointment to
part-time lecturers already engaged by the existing colleges
in Siliguri,” Mr Das said. Meanwhile, the issuing of
forms and the admission process for the two new colleges is
simultaneously commencing from tomorrow. As per the authorities,
while the admission forms for the Munshi Prem Chand Mahavidalaya
would be available at the Shieumangal Singh High School, Haidarpara,
the forms for the Naxalbari Mahavidalaya would be disbursed
from the Nandaprashad High School, Naxalbari from 7 a.m. The
admission process would continue till 23 July.
Classes for the two new colleges, expected to commence on
21 July, would be held between 6 and 11 a.m. at the two high
schools mentioned above.
According to the state urban development minister and the
Siliguri MLA, Mr Asok Bhattacharya, on 12 August, the state
higher education minister would personally lay the foundation
stone for the permanent campus of the two new colleges.
