Recruitment Paused at NEIGRIHMS Over Controversy on Gender Representation
Shillong: The North Eastern Indira Gandhi Regional Institute of Health & Medical Sciences (NEIGRIHMS) on Monday decided to halt the upcoming recruitment processes after social organisations here protested demanding the implementation of an 80:20 female-to-male ratio of employees.
The decision in this regard was taken after government spokesperson Paul Lyngdoh chaired a meeting with officials of the NEIGRIHMS and a delegation of the influential Khasi Students Union (KSU).
The KSU had been protesting inside the NEIGRIHMS campus demanding, among others, the implementation of the ratio, reviewing the roster registry and setting up examination centres across Meghalaya.

Lyngdoh said, “In view of these developments, it was decided that until all matters are sorted out, the NEIGRIHMS will halt the entire recruitment process.” The issues will be addressed in a week or so, he hoped.
