Shillong, March 22: Vice Chancellor (VC) of the North-Eastern Hill University (NEHU), Prof PS Shukla, has assured the faculty members of the university to finalize their Career Advancement Scheme (CAS) for completing the process of promotions within few months.
In his appeal, Prof Shukla expressed deep respect and appreciation to all academicians of the university for their unwavering dedication to NEHU and said, “You are the intellectual pillars of this institution, guided/guiding young minds and shaping the future through your commitment to teaching, research, and academic excellence under National Education Policy.”
Stating that recent disruptions have affected the various facets of the university, the VC said, “I am particularly aware of how these have delayed crucial processes, especially the CAS promotions. When I initiated work on CAS second time last year 2024, my intention was to complete the promotions by March 2025, giving special priority to those at the highest stages of their careers, particularly those approaching retirement. Unfortunately, unforeseen challenges have stalled this process which is continuously going on.”
“I regret the delay and want to assure you that finalizing CAS remains a top priority. I am fully committed to completing the promotions within the few months,” he assured the faculty members adding “Recognizing and rewarding the hard work, dedication, and scholarly contributions of our academicians are essential, and I am determined to ensure that deserving faculty receive their due acknowledgment without further delay.”
Beyond CAS, Prof Shukla also highlighted how recent disruptions have impacted the core objectives of NEHU—education and research.
He said the administrative slowdowns have caused delays in important approvals, affected
academic schedules, and created uncertainty among our students, over 82% of whom come from Meghalaya.
Appealing the need to restore stability in the university, Prof Shukla said, “These students look to us for guidance, stability, and knowledge. It is our shared responsibility to provide them with the best possible academic environment. A university thrives when its faculty, staff, and administration collaborate harmoniously with the ethics of teaching.”
“I appeal to your collective wisdom and commitment: Let us work together to restore stability and focus on our common goals i.e. academic progress, faculty recognition, and student success. NEHU’s excellence depends on our unity and shared vision,” he added.
He also assured, “My doors remain open, as always. I am here to listen, to collaborate, and to support each one of you in achieving the academic mission of NEHU. Let us move forward together, united in purpose, and work towards making NEHU an institution we are all proud of.”
