Dear Sir ,
Out Sourcing of Faculty Positions at BIRD, Lucknow

With great anguish we have come to know that BIRD's Governing Council and NABARD has decided that only 50% of the sanctioned Faculty strength at BIRD will henceforth be filled-up by NABARD officers.

This will tantamount to curtailing the Career as well as professional pursuits of NABARD officers which were hither to available to them at BIRD, Lucknow. This will also lead to detoriation in the availability of quality Faculty support to the Institution.

BIRD was earlier part & parcel of NABARD and its hiving off into an autonomous Institution was based on a Gentlemen's agreement between the management and NBOA that as NABARD and its Human Resource shall strive to evolve BIRD into an Institute of Excellence it would also provide rich avenues to NABARD officers in terms of career and professional pursuits. Accordingly it was decided to have only core area faculty from the Market while the remaining Faculty positions shall be filled up in-house from NABARD officers. This deviation from the set norms & principles is a step towards privitisation of the Institute and we fear that similar fate awaits Institutions like NABCONS.

Sir , BIRD has been promoted and nurtured by Tabard's hard earned Profits and has been evolved into an Institute of repute by our sweet & toil and our officers should not be denied the resultant prospects.

We , therefore earnestly call upon you to reconsider the decision taken and maintain the status-quo in this regard till the matter is amicably resolved in due consultation with NBOAYours Sincerely (Dr.D.S.Chauhan)
General Secretary
