KSHEC urges State govt. to fill 35,000 vacant posts in universities, other such institutions to ensure quality

Karnataka State Higher Education Council (KSHEC) has urged the State government to fill 35,000 vacant posts in higher education institutions and universities to improve the quality of education.

Vice-Chairman of the Karnataka State Higher Education Council S.R. Niranjan, addressing a gathering at a one-day consultation meet with principals of various colleges jointly organised by Karnataka State Higher Education Council, Bidar University and Karnataka Sahitya Sangha in Bidar on Wednesday, said that Chief Minister Siddaramaiah recently convened a meeting of the council and gave the green signal to filling the existing vacancies in the universities.

Simply establishing universities won’t serve the purpose as higher education institutions without enough faculties and infrastructure won’t make the State an education hub, Prof. Niranjan said.
