| AIIMS is once again in the eye of a storm and this time too it relates to reservation.
Now the administration is being hauled up by the Commission for Schedule Castes, for violating the constitution in the recruitment of senior residents.
For the 106 posts advertised this July 74 reserved candidates cleared the exam. As per rules, 53 should have been appointed but only 24 were.
The Commission says instead of ensuring every 6th doctor hired is a reserved candidate, AIIMS uses a ''floating quota'' offering posts to quota candidates depending on availability, ironically despite having more successful candidates this time. AIIMS still denied them a job.
''There is no provision in the constitution for something like this. When I summoned them I asked them this and they had no answers,'' said Buta Singh, Chairman, National Commission for SCs.
To prevent further scrutiny students and the faculty association have filed a petition against the Thorat committee report in the High Court.
The report had accused Venugopal of backing the anti-quota protests.
The petition says the floating quota policy has been in use since 1987 and if it's unconstitutional why was it not opposed for 20 years?
But for reserved category students who have for long faced discrimination such as eating in separate canteens to being pushed out of hostels the Commission's intervention now may well prove the rallying point.
