The committee said it is not inclined to accept the "stereotype" reply of the government that a sufficient number of suitable candidates could not be found.
Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe candidates are deliberately declared "not suitable" for appointment as faculty members in educational institutions because of "biased" assessment by selection panels, a parliamentary panel has said.
The Committee on the Welfare of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes submitted in the Lok Sabha on Tuesday its report on the "role of autonomous bodies/educational institution including central universities, engineering colleges, IIMs, IITs, medical institutes, Navodaya Vidyalayas and Kendriya Vidyalayas in socio-economic development of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes."
The panel said it is not inclined to accept the "stereotype" reply of the government that a sufficient number of suitable candidates could not be found.
