The selections to public employment should be on the basis of merits. Ignoring would be in violation of Articles 14 and 16 of the Constitution of India. It has become the habit for the authorities selecting undeserved candidates according to their whims and fancies and through political clout. Educated youths are saying that to get a government job bribing and influence is inevitable. In the past there were serious allegations levelled against the government by its own MLAs. Adopting malicious practice in the recruitment process of various departments should not be a norm. Even today the Goan youths have a wrong perception, that the government jobs are 'for sale'. Merit selection aims to choose the best person for the job, resulting in a quality workforce. All appointments should be rooted through GPSC/SSC. It is in public interest that the process of selection and appointment should be transparent to make it fool-proof from corrupt mechanisms. In these days of statutory transparency, public authority should give reasons why a meritorious candidate was not selected.
