The surveyors and officers-in-charge of the land survey and settlement under the Management and Settlement Division of the Land Ministry have demanded that the government step back from the move to allow appointment of Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree holders and non-technical persons to these technical posts.
In a press release they said only the applicants, holding three-year Survey Final (SF) and four-year Survey Diploma (SD) degrees, are supposed to be recruited to these land-related technical posts like surveyor and officer-in-charge of land survey and settlement as per the Recruitment Rule-1932.
"But 50 per cent of the appointments and promotions to these posts are likely to be made from the BA degree holders and non-technical graduates, instead of giving priority to the SF and SD degree holders,", the release added.
They alleged that some dishonest and corrupt officials of the land ministry were making their efforts to appoint and promote non-technical degree holders in place of the technical in the name of amending the recruitment rules by taking huge bribes.
"If the non-technical graduates are appointed to the technical posts, we will be deprived on one hand, and the government, on the other, will have to spend a lot of money to train them," the surveyor and officers-in-charge said in their statement.
