Out of the 29 people who applied for the post of Vice Chairman of the Council for Technical Education and Vocational Training (CTEVT), 8 have been shortlisted. The Selection and Recommendation Committee has stated that the names of these 8 people will be recommended for the appointment of Vice Chairman based on their presentations and interviews.
According to the committee, Upendra Pokharel of Gorkha, Umesh Kumar Mishra of Mahottari, Kaziram Adhikari of Tanahun, Kushmakar Bhatta of Darchula, Khemraj Joshi of Kanchanpur, Tailendra Acharya of Jhapa, Mohammad Safiullah of Rautahat and Harishankar Prasad Sah of Bara have been shortlisted.
The Ministry of Education has stated that the time for their interview and presentation is set for Poush 28. After the committee recommends the names of the three people, the Cabinet meeting will decide on the appointment. The Ministry of Education has formed a recommendation committee for the appointment of the vice-chairman.
CTEVT has been without a vice-chairman since Magh 2081. The Supreme Court had overturned the decision of the Council of Ministers to appoint the then vice-chairman Om Prasad Baral. The Council of Ministers meeting held on Mangsir 2081 had decided to appoint Baral as the vice-chairman of CTEVT.
Tailendra Acharya had filed a writ petition in the Supreme Court questioning the qualifications of Baral, who was appointed as the Vice-Chairman of CTEVT by the Council of Ministers. The hearing on the writ filed against the Office of the Prime Minister and the Council of Ministers has held that Baral's qualifications are not sufficient.
The Supreme Court has held in its order that Om Prasad Baral's qualifications are not sufficient as prescribed by law. 'Since it is not evident that he has at least fifteen years of experience in the field of technical education and vocational training as mentioned in clause (b) of sub-rule (1) of rule 3 (b) of the Technical Education and Vocational Training Council Regulations, 2051,' the unlawful decision and nomination of the opposition Nepal Government Council of Ministers dated 2081 Mangsir 6, which is against the law, are also null and void by the order of the Supreme Court,' the Supreme Court has said.
