We professionals should definitely feel sorry for this state of affairs. This is definitely true In the scenario of Vertical hierarchy system also, where the Vertical Head expects some duffer to be there, in order to justify his/her seat.

It is fault of selectors who did not do their job with honesty. But unfortunately the result of this will be suffered by thousands of school children and teachers of Navoday vidyalay. I know a very duffer library science professional who was begging for jobs in private institutions and schools for many years but was welcomed by the Great "Navoday Vidyalay Samiti". You dont worry, you will have an ocean of opportunities. All the best.

Dear Sri Bharat Kumar Ghelot,
I have gone through your post. As a co-professional I feel anguished and as a senior professional, being in this service for more than three decades, I feel extremely ashamed as we are unable to do anything about such injustice to one of our young colleagues who are presumably going to take charge of this profession in near future!! I understand that such injustice often leaves lasting adverse impression on one's mind.
All I can do is to pray to almighty god that HE keeps you free of such impressions and you from 10 - 15 years from now, as a subject expert in interviews try not to do such injustice to any new entrant!!
I pray to God so that you can get a befitting job far more promising than this one in very near future.
With very best wishes,
Siddhartha S. Ray, Calcutta
