Many IITs claim to have an appraisal process in place, but say nothing about specific policies to terminate services of non-performers. Two say they have no such policy in place yet.
RJD, once a prominent representative of Mandal politics, now finds itself in a political era where welfare, good governance, and new aspirations are overshadowing old caste equations.
Without a Congress revival, there can be no challenge to the BJP pan-nationally. Modi’s party is growing, and almost entirely at the cost of the Congress.
IITs are working with around 30% less faculty. One can fire some based on performance. That adds to burden of better performers. New comers get scared to opt for faculty positions. Government policy wants OBC, sc, st, economically weaker section reservation in faculty. You can not fire the reserved category faculty as the sc/st/obc commissions will not allow it. Sure way to destroy a successful system. Modi says government should not be involved in business, banking juficiary etc – they can only destroy iits because others are any way destroyed. Wonderful.
Fire non-performers? First off they need to define what is non-performance. If it is teaching duty then everyone teaches some or the other course. The quality of teaching can be subjective and the evaluation can also be very subjective. People in adminstrative positions don’t do much of teaching work. Evaluation of to the next aspect, i.e., research, is going to be even more subjective. It depends on how much facilitation the establishment makes, the kind of students and their willingness to stick to the research program, etc, etc. Then we have the issue of whether the establishment provides any means or modality for redressal of grievances? All this will make the removal of the “non-performance” even more difficult and questionable. The best thing the government can do is to slash the retirement age back to 60. It is the previous governments which increased the retirement ages from 62 to 65 which was unnecessary.
Before worrying about IIT non performers, the GOI in New Delhi should clean up its own house and itself. It scores zero in economics, health care and education. If your focus on replacing with RSS gofers in all crucial places, the country automatically goes to zero in everything. A regime change is needed first for the last 7 years.

Not surprised about Kharagpur giving no reply, sometimes feels like that’s how they deal with all problems.
60% faculty deserve to be removed
