The suspension of a recently recruited Mamlatdar on the basis of a fraudulent Economically Weaker Section certificate by the Government of Goa should serve as an eye-opener. In future, the least the Goa Public Service Commission should do is publish the names of selected candidates in newspapers on the basis of each type of reservation as well as paid candidature immediately after issuing recruitment letters, to enable the challenging of such tainted fraudulent recruitment malpractices so as to avoid any subsequent legal scrutiny of the decisions taken or orders issued by such tainted government employees.
When the names of beneficiaries of DSSS can be made public, why not the above? Further, in the case of recruitment tests/exams, the answer keys should also be published immediately after conducting the same. This is important, especially in the case of the recruitment of school teachers, wherein the Teachers Eligibility Test has been made compulsory under the National Education Policy. NEP sounds good, but considering the quality of our Goan politicians, the implementation will always be biased and beneficial only to the karyakartas of any ruling dispensation.
Also, it is extremely important that recruitment in aided minority educational institutions should be left to the management of such minority institutions, and should be their sole prerogative, to avoid the imposition of candidates of a particular religion and chamchas of ruling politicians.
