Punishing whom?
This refers to the line in an Advertisement of the Higher Education Deptt. on 19-Jan for Appointment of College Lecturers. It says: “as far as possible, the candidate higher in the merit shall be appointed in city/urban colleges and those lower in merit shall be engaged in rural/peripheral colleges”. Is this a punishment for the rural students or low-merit candidates?
