With the state government having lifted the ban imposed on mass recruitment in government departments, the selection process for the vacant posts in various government departments would be held in July 2021. With the state assembly elections scheduled during early 2022, youths desirous of government jobs would be lured in the process.
The MLAs and the cabinet ministers would now be busy in preparing a list of candidates of their choice for filling up the existing vacant posts. Of course, there would be no consideration for efficiency, educational qualification, knowledge of local languages, experience etc. during the selection process. The really deserving and efficient candidates have no chance of securing the government jobs. However, by the time the recruitment process starts in July 2021, it is absolutely necessary that the state government equips the Goa Staff Selection Commission with the necessary facilities and adequate staff.
Selection of candidates on the basis of influence should end once and for all. What should count more is the efficiency of candidates during the selection process. Public at large visiting the government departments should receive exemplary service. Selection of candidates by the Goa Staff Selection Commission would mean selection of only the efficient candidates for the said vacant posts. CM Pramod Sawant should ensure that recruitment is strictly done on merit basis rather than influence. No doubt, it is the efficient candidates only that should secure government jobs at all costs.
