3 mn posts in govt depts vacant, Kharge attacks PM Modi over lack of jobs

Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Friday attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the issue of jobs, claiming that 30 lakh posts are vacant in various government departments but the PM distributed just 75,000 appointment letters. His attack came over a media report which claimed that 1,600 posts are vacant in central secretariat services. "PM Modi promised 2 Cr Jobs, per year. In 8 years, 16 Cr Jobs should have been created. More than 30 Lakh posts are vacant in various Govt departments. But PM Modi distributed just 75,000 odd applications," Kharge said in a tweet. "1,600 posts vacant under Central Secretariat, directly under PMO. Why?" he said. Last month, Prime Minister Modi launched a "Rozgar Mela" and underscored his government's efforts to create jobs in the last eight years. More than 75,000 people were given appointment letters for various government jobs in the first tranche. The Congress has been attacking the government over alleged lack of jobs for the youth a

Personality test mandatory for Group-1 job aspirants in Andhra Pradesh

Job aspirants, particularly those seeking to get into executive cadre posts, will have to undergo a personality test as the Andhra Pradesh government rescinded its previous order dispensing with personal interviews. In June 2021, the state government issued an order dispensing with personal interviews for recruitment of staff, calling it a "historic decision" aimed at maintaining "utmost transparency" and ensuring "complete trust" in the recruitment process for government jobs. Recruitment for all categories of government posts was supposed to be done only based on a written examination. But it has now reversed its policy, to do away with the transparent process and bring back the old system, albeit with a new nomenclature called 'personality test.' "The government, after careful consideration of the matter, hereby restores the personality test for higher level posts of Group-1 services for recruiting suitable and meritorious candidates for effective and efficient delivery of publi
