The result of NCUI interview conducted to select Chief Executive for the apex organization is yet to be published. According to sources the process has hit a road block due to internal resistance within the selectors’ panel.
The Panel consisted of four people which included NCUI President, Central Registrar, NCUI Vice President G H Amin and former Chief Executive of the organization, B D Sharma.
Many people have questioned the presence of B D Sharma in the Panel who according to sources, qualified to participate in the selection process as an expert.
It is also being said that Central Registrar is not happy with short listing of Anita Manchanda for the interview who did not fulfil the eligibility criteria. Her shortlisting nevertheless was done on the weak argument that she is the acting Chief Executive!
What ever be the reason, it is indeed sad that the apex organization of cooperatives is not able to find a suitable Chief Executive for past two years.
Even this time, it is more than a month that the interview took place.
Readers may be aware that about 10 candidates were short-listed which includes an IAS officer and a former Forest service officer, V S Rao, the food secretary in Goa govt is officer of DANIK services while Amit Prasad is former IFS and presently working as Director HR in KRIBHCO.
Some other high-profile candidates had been left out in the beginning of race only. B K Mishra, MD of FISHCOFED is one of them and second in command at NCUI S Satyanarayan is another.
Note: Name of Bhagawati Prasad was inadvertently published. Error has been rectified. Editorial team offers sincere apology to Mr Prasad.
