JAMMU, Sept 6: R. K. Kalsotra, President of the State unit of the All India Confederation of SC/ST/OBC Organizations has appealed the Chairman SSRB to accord consideration to the SC category candidates on the basis of marks obtained by them in one screening test for all other districts so that the benefit of exemption granted to the SC category, to apply from all districts, by virtue of the Civil Services Decentralization Act, 2010 percolates down to this category.
The request finds its force due to same screening test to be conducted on single date for all districts and a candidate belonging to SC category who applies from different districts will not be able to appear in all the tests simultaneously hence this proposal is available option. A large scale panic grips the candidates belonging to the SC category in the wake of screening tests on same date in other districts and this proposal was discussed with the Chairperson, SSRB Shagufta Parveen to allay the fears of SC candidates who gave a positive response.
Mr. Kalsotra also apprised Tara Chand, Deputy Chief Minister, of the benefits of inter-district recruitment and also requested him to take the matter with SSRB.
Meanwhile Kishtwar Unit of All J&K SC /ST Retired Employees Forum, general secretary, J R Aryan while expressing concern over calling of interviews for the posts of teachers in all districts on September 14 and 15 by SSB, has said that this way the candidates of SC category will be put in problem as they can’t appear in interview on a single day in other districts.
He demanded that the merit of SC candidates in the district where they have appeared in the interview should be taken as yard stick for his selection in another district.
