Mohan Mishra, the Publicity Director in NCUI and a person who is well-known in Delhi’s media circles has landed the much coveted post of the NCCT Chief.
The post had been lying vacant for a long time after its former head T Paramjyoti was found involved in the Lecturers‘ scam. The incident robbed NCUI of much of its sheen.
Two candidates were short-listed among the applicants and Mr Mishra, who studied at Delhi School of Economics, was finally selected.
Mr Mishra has vast experiences of cooperatives in general and NCUI in particular. People close to NCUI say it was Mohan Mishra who used to write speeches for cooperative leaders in the town and keep them informed of the latest in the cooperative sector.
Leaders would come to him to collect their speeches before embarking on journeys to attend international cooperative conferences.
Though the letter to relieve Mr Mishra has been received by NCUI, it is in quandary on the issue. There seems to be no replacement for him in the media cell at NCUI.
The decision is still more difficult as NCUI is caught in the throes of activities including Vaikunthlal Mehta Memorial Lecture, East Zone Cooperative conference in Bhuvneshwar and International Cooperative Congress on the occasion of IYC 2012.
