The protection and welfare of its subjects is the touchstone of a democracy and democratic governance. Since we are living in a welfare state - now a UT and the welfare of its citizens should be the top-priority of the government. Migration in itself is a curse and the migrants are living a life of exile and are living in uncertainty. The migrant youths are no exception to it and they are left in lurch and many educated migrant youths have reached to stagnation and are over-aged and their future is bleak. The employment package for Kashmiri Migrants is the gift of the Congress government and the then Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh had announced the employment and rehabilitation package for Kashmiri Migrants in the year 2008. But, very ironically the government of the erstwhile state has failed to translate the employment package in reality and implement it in total.
It was in the year 2009 when former PM of India Dr. Manmohan Singh announced a Job package for the unemployed youths of the Kashmiri Pandits during his visit to the migrants’ camps of Jammu. Around 6000 posts were created under this centrally sponsored programme about till date only 3000 posts were being filled which shows the dubious and callous attitude of the J&K UT and its recruitment board. The J&K Service Selection Board had advertised some posts for kashmiri Migrants in the year 2017 under J&K SSB Advertisement Notification No. 04 of 2017 under this special job package and the process to recruit the migrant youths under this advertisement is still going on. Some of the posts were filled but to a great dismay the post of Junior Assistants advertised vide above Notification No. has not been filled even after more than two years. The written test, type test and subsequent document verification process for the said posts of Junior Assistant had been held after a great hitch and after a long span of time. But unfortunately the selection list for Junior Assistants post has still not been released as yet for the reasons best known to the J&K SSB. The Junior Assistant Migrant candidates are getting frustrated and dejected over the long delay in the selection process. Some of the candidates have left their private jobs outside the Jammu and Kashmir in the hope of being appointed under the Prime Minister’s Employment package for Kashmiri Migrants but to their utter surprise and disdain they are still waiting for being appointed as Junior Assistants. One fails to understand as how much time the J&K Service Selection Board will require in issuing selection lists for the post of Junior Assistants. The candidates who have applied for Junior Assistants post are in a great dilemma as the selection lists have not been released till date even when the Lt. Governor had issued strict directions of completing the recruitment process byo or before 31st January, 2020. One wonders that the directions of the Hon’ble Lt. Governor of J&K UT have also been put in the dustbin by the authorities concerned. The patience of the candidates who have given the written test, type test and also have undergone document verification is weaning. They are now dejected and frustrated and have to go from pillar to post and the Service Selection Board is sleeping over the matter. Earlier it was understandable that there was court stay on the recruitment process but now when the stay has been lifted, it becomes the duty of the J&K SSB to release the lists as soon as possible without any further delay as enough of their time already stands wasted due to the callous and dubious attitude of the Board as well as the government. The Service Selection Board is working at snail’s pace and is only eating time. Three years have passed since these posts of Junior Assistants were advertised by the J&K SSB but the sad story is that the selection lists have been put on hold even when everything related to the recruitment formalities is crystal clear. It is worthwhile to mention here that J&K SSB recently issued selection lists of 2019 notification no. while putting dust on the old notification of 2017 by not releasing the pending selection lists of Junior Assistants to various departments under PM’s package for Kashmiri Migrants. Overall recruitment process under notification no. 2019 took only around six months but it is very disheartening that the recruitment process has not still been completed for the old notification no. 2017. This shows the lackadaisical approach of J&K SSB towards the Junior Assistant Migrants aspirants. Now it is impressed on the chairman J&K SSB to take a personal interest in the matter and alleviate the frustration and suffering of the Junior Assistant Migrant aspirants at the earliest by releasing all pending selection lists, otherwise the candidates will lose faith in the Service Selection Board and government. Is the Jammu & Kashmir Service Selection Board’s Chairman listening is a million dollar question? |
