Panaji: With around 10,000 vacancies to be filled, the government is contemplating to ease recruitment process by holding a single test for lower division clerks (LDC) and data entry operators' posts in all departments by inviting applications through a single advertisement, once in a year, thereby avoiding long queues of aspirants outside government offices.
If the modalities see the light of the day, prospective candidates need not apply to different departments as their single application would be considered for all the posts in various departments. "We are contemplating to hold only one examination for LDC and data operators' posts in all departments so that candidates need not appear again and again,'' said a senior government officer.
He added , "all departments will be asked to publish their requirements in a single advertisement once in a year.''
"We will ask all the departments to finalize the number of posts that need to be filled, and by March the same will be advertised. Final recruitment will be done by December-end,'' he said.
Chief minister Manohar Parrikar last week had said that more than 5,000 vacancies will be filled up in various departments, beginning December. There is a backlog of around 5,000 vacancies since the last two-and-a-half year, he had said.
"We haven't done any recruitment during the past one year. Employees will now be hired as per the requirements of departments during the previous year as well as the next year," Parrikar had said.
Former chief minister, Laxmikant Parsekar had introduced the Goa Staff Selection Commission Bill, 2016, envisaging an independent body to conduct examinations and select candidates for appointments to subordinate service posts in government departments and organizations, including autonomous and semi-autonomous government bodies. However, it never saw the light of the day.
Around 10,000 vacancies exist in various departments, which include 1,700 posts in police, 1,989 in PWD, 865 in electricity, 103 in revenue, 426 in education, 350 in forest and 250 in fire force.
