Competition Commission to rope in research professionals

To bolster its human resource capabilities, the Competition Commission is looking to engage a dozen research professionals in the area of law.
The fair trade regulatory body, which has the mandate to keep a tab on anti-competitive practices in the market place, in recent times has been recruiting people for various posts, including at the director and joint director levels.
The 12 "research associates/professionals" would work in the area of law and assist the regulator in carrying out its functions under the Competition Act.
According to the Competition Commission of India (CCI), these 12 people would be hired initially for a period of one year and the tenure could be extended depending on requirements.

The watchdog is also working on capacity building activities mainly to improve investigation skills of the officers who are into enforcing the competition norms.
Recently, CCI sought applications to fill up as many as 34 vacancies, with majority of openings at the level of directors. Among the 34 posts, there were two for directors, 13 for joint directors and and 12 for deputy directors.
