Early Times Report
Srinagar, May 12: After Governor NN Vohra returned the Jammu and Kashmir Special Recruitment Ordinance-2015 on the new recruitment policy -- recently formalized by the Mufti led PDP-BJP coalition, the state cabinet is likely to amend certain parts of the ordinance tomorrow.
Sources in the civil secretariat told ET on Tuesday that the state certain amendments have been proposed to the Special Recruitment Ordinance which will be approved by the cabinet in its crucial meeting to be held on Wednesday.
Earlier the state cabinet had on April19 approved the ordinance and was latter submitted to the governor for essence. The ordinance was, however, returned by the Rajbhavan to the state government, raising certain queries on its objectives and viability.
The government had adopted the ordinance only a week after the budget session of the State Legislature concluded. The ordinance was adopted to facilitate fast-track appointments against gazetted and non-gazetted vacancies on contractual basis.
The services of persons appointed on contractual basis under the new recruitment policy will be regularized after putting in seven years of "satisfactory service".
The ordinance was widely criticized by the people and the opposition parties alike on the pretext that it was aimed at diluting the recruiting institutions like Public Service Commission and the Service Selection Board as the ordinance authorizes the government to exempt certain posts or class of posts from the purview of these institutions. They observe that the policy would dampen the spirit of the recruitment agencies as their role would "substantially get diluted over a period of time".Recruiting Gazetted officers at district level without an accountable and constitutionally empowered body is vulnerable to misuse and exploitation. It can only feed the aspirations of representatives of ruling parties. The recent process of recruitment by JKPSC and JKSSB was fair and politician couldn't make backdoor entries. The aspirants were apprehensive that PDP-BJP coalition has put forward another way of backdoor entries and named that New Recruitment Policy.
However, the Government had claimed that the New Recruitment Policy would help to fill around 12,000 vacancies of assistant surgeons, lecturers and teachers from among the local human resource at the district level wherein the selected persons would have to work in the area during the term of their contractual engagement. The Government was going to make it a permanent recruitment policy.
Sources said the cabinet will amend certain sections of the policy tomorrow and send it back to Governor for issuing ordinance. According to the proposed amendments, the Service Selection Board would be the sole recruiting authority though the recruitment will be made on district level.
Sources, however, revealed that the amendments suggested do not address the concerns of the aspirants as the appointments shall be made purely on contractual basis and the period of contractual appointment will remain seven years. |
