The recruitment process should be executed within the set time table. While observing the necessary protocol for Covid-19, recruitment exams should be held on schedule. Chief minister Trivendra Singh Rawat issued these directions while reviewing the recruitment process here on Monday.
The CM said that there should not be any delay in sending the requirement to the selection commissions. An online system should also be made for this purpose. He further directed that one exam should be held for posts of a similar nature. This will save the time and money of the examinees while also preventing unnecessary delay in recruitments. When the State public service commission fixes the date for DPC, it should not be deferred due to unavailability of officials concerned.
Rawat further directed that reply to the objections of the selection commission should be sent within three days at the most. The personnel department should review the recruitment process in the departments and establish coordination between the departments and selection commissions.
The CM observed that the recruitment process had been delayed due to Covid-19. A plan should be made to ascertain how this can be compensated for in the next six months.
