Professor vacancies: OPS appeals

Tamil Nadu : Former Chief Minister O. Panneerselvam has stressed the need to fill vacant professorships in universities and colleges.

He issued a statement on this on Friday:

It is reported that 50 per cent of teaching posts are vacant in universities in Tamil Nadu alone. The DMK government has not shown any interest in filling professorships in the last four years. How can quality education be imparted if so many posts are vacant?

Therefore, he has stressed that vacant professorships in universities and government colleges should be filled immediately and in a proper manner.
