Re: [pakgrid] Undercurrent on HEC Devolution Continues...

Precisely.

Isn't this the 3rd extension which is being proposed for ED? How many more are needed?

Really? Don't we have anyone else? What happened to grooming your successors?

Same is true for Dr. Ata ur Rehman.

Why in our country everybody, icluding academician, politician, armed services personnel, law makers (judiciary related) is insistent to be seated on chair, that of course is public property, not his/her own/personal? Why the predecessors and their teams always think in Pakistan that there are no successors to run that post as efficiently as they did? Why dont we strive for better personality after retirement of some efficient one. There seems to be some element of self, undue interest in all this.

Dear All:

Assalamo alaikum

I fully endorse the views of Dr. nasrullah ,however, we should also look at the other side of the picture/story as well.

Can Dr. Suhail Naqvi deny that "all innoscent HEC" does not has bribary rate of 50 lac to approve a new university? This practice was in full swing throughout in his tenure.

I can write a two hundred page book on corruption and mismanagement of resources particularly funding to universities, PERN , digital library and so on. Keeping a national organization independent and performing is one good thing while it eqMAKIGually available for the accountability is something which is seldom practiced in our country.

Dear Readers

Establishment division in collaboration with Prime Minister's Secretariat has authorized a bureaucrat Major (R) Qamar Zaman, Secretary Education and Trainings Division, to take additional charge of the post of Executive Director (ED) HEC (http://www.thenews.com.pk/Todays-News-6-145703-HEC-objects-to-fresh-posting. This order not only undermines the HEC freedom to appoint its officers at its own but also is an attempt to subjugate to devolve it. HEC notified ED post a few months ago but later decided to let Prof Sohail Naqvi continue due to his outstanding contributions. Academia appreciated HEC's decision to let Prof Dr Sohail Naqvi continue as ED for his corruption free services. ED post in HEC requires a PhD degree in science or engineering in addition to a long academic experience which any bureaucrat cannot have whatsoever.

Bureaucrats are generally donkeys of all trades and master of none but this post requires qualified Doctors (PhD) not donkeys. Chairman HEC is requested to exercise his own powers by declining to illegal order. If we keep silence then tsunami of the bureaucratic corruption cancer will override the higher education system in Pakistan. Pakistan is continuously descending deep down into chaos due to bad governance and decisions. This is time to rise and stand to wrong decisions promoting the twilight into utter darkness. Government and bureaucracy tried to devolve HEC in last years but SC ordered HEC to keep operating under laws before amendment (http://dawn.com/2011/04/12/sc-orders-hec-to-keep-operating-until-amendment-in-law/), déjà vu, any attempt to appoint any bureaucrat as ED in HEC is violation of SC orders.

At the first look this decision appears seems based on bad intentions. Establishment Division is misguiding Prime Minister on HEC authority (See HEC Act, Section II) to appoint PM Scale officers. HEC decision to protest against this order (http://www.thenews.com.pk/Todays-News-6-145703-HEC-objects-to-fresh-posting) was hailed by academia and civil society of Pakistan. Bureaucratic eyes
