The state government has permitted government-aided colleges to fill vacant posts of teaching and non-teaching staff members. Director Higher Education has directed the management of such colleges to initiate the process.

The Welfare Association of Management of Private Aided Degree Colleges Haryana met Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini and Education Minister Mahipal Dhanda to express gratitude to them for giving permission to fill up vacant 2,400 posts sanctioned across the state.

The association also expressed gratitude for lifting ban on the recruitment in aided colleges. Association president and former Pundri MLA Tejvir Singh said since December 21, 2023, the Higher Education Department had imposed a ban on recruitment for over 2,400 sanctioned posts, including principals, assistant professors and non-teaching staff, across 97 aided colleges in Haryana. The removal of this restriction by the department had paved the way for much-needed recruitment, while helping address severe staff shortage in these institutions, he said.

“This is a commendable decision taken by the government. It will directly benefit lakhs of students studying in these colleges,” said Tejvir Singh, while praising the government’s responsiveness to the sector’s long-pending demands.

Education Minister Mahipal Dhanda emphasised on the government’s commitment to strengthen higher education under the National Education Policy (NEP). “Prime Minister Narendra Modi has envisioned making India a developed nation and a global leader by 2047. The NEP will play a key role in achieving this goal. Haryana is the first state to implement the NEP in the country. We are ensuring that aided colleges do not suffer from staff shortages so that students receive quality education,” he said.
