PONDA: With one more academic year going by, the desperation of aspiring candidates belonging to OBC, SC, and ST for the admission for Post-graduate programmes of medicine and dentistry at Goa Medical College and Goa Dental College under 50% state quota has given rise to frustration.
Despite persistent efforts by various leaders of ST, SC and OBC communities, Govt has once again appeared to have failed to implement its own order of providing 41% reservation to SC/ ST and OBC candidates.
To discuss this issue and express their discontent, an urgent meeting of all concerned is convened on 30th October at 3 pm at Pragati Sankul hall of Gomantak Bhandari Samaj at Mapusa, near Bodegeshwar temple where the future course of action will be decided.
The meeting will be attended by the President, Secretary and other office bearers of various registered SC/ST/OBC samaj bodies that issue caste certificates and represent the communities that are listed by the government as SC/ST and OBC.
The representatives of apex bodies and federations are also invited.
In addition, the meeting is open to all active social workers, youth, candidates and parents who have been denied admission to PG or those who are aspiring to study PG in coming years, leaders of political parties, elected representatives such as MPs, MLAs, ZPs, sarpanch, panch and councillors.
The government is yet to take any corrective action on this, and various leaders who are constantly following up on this matter have found that some officials are delaying the file movement so that admission rounds of the Academic year 2022-23 are conducted without reservations.
To protest this move and to chalk out the future plan of action, a meeting is convened on Sunday, 30th October 2022, at 3 pm at Pragati Sankul of Gomantak Bhandari Samaj, Mapusa, near Bodgeshwar Temple.
Organizers call upon concerned persons to attend the meeting and to take the government to task on this matter.
The meeting will also discuss other issues plaguing Goa’s bahujan samaj.
