Accusing the interview board of appointing an unqualified candidate for the post, the civic organization wrote to the health minister, chief secretary and health secretary today demanding cancellation of the appointment and a punishment to the interview board members.
According to PRISM's letter, an advertisement for the post was floated by MSACS project director on May 25, 2011, which clearly stated that three years experience was required besides the educational qualification.
Of the 27 applicants, only 13 were qualified. However, no written examination was conducted and all the applicants, including the unqualified ones, were called for an interview.
Based on this interview, the applicant who scored the highest marks was given the appointment.
Though Lalthakimi Sailo scored 76 marks, the highest among the applicants, she was unqualified for the post as per the requirements stated in the advertisement.
Applicants who ranked second to seventh position were qualified applicants. PRISM also criticized the absence of competitive exams in the appointment process.
While applications of the unqualified applicants should have been rejected, they were called for interviews.
This indicated that the appointment of this particular applicant was preplanned, PRISM said. According to PRISM's letter, Lalthakimi Sailo is the daughter of Lalthuamluaia Sailo, a resident of Babutlang, Aizawl.
