State varsities slip deeper into faculty crisis

Against a sanctioned faculty strength of 2,003, the universities are managing with only 696
SIXTY-FIVE per cent (pc) of faculty positions in state's public universities are lying vacant as the Odisha Universities Act stalemate is yet to be resolved.
There are 17 public universities in the state with a combined sanctioned faculty strength of 2,003. But, the number of faculty members in position is just 696. This was informed by the Higher Education minister Suryabanshi Suraj in the Assembly on Friday.
It has been five years since a new faculty member was appointed in any public university in the state. The recruitment has been stalled due to the Supreme Court stay on the Odisha Universities (Amendment) Act, 2020 which was brought into effect by the previous BJD government.
