Recruitment for govt posts ‘soon as possible’: CM Pramod Sawant
Goa chief minister Pramod SawantPANAJI: Chief minister Pramod Sawant said that the state government will start recruitment for government posts as soon as possible.
TOI had reported that aspirants for government jobs will have to wait a little longer as the Covid-19 pandemic has delayed the recruitment of over 2,000 class ‘C’ employees through the Goa staff selection commission (GSSC).
“We will recruit those posts as soon as possible,” he said. Class ‘C’ employees comprise positions at the level of clerks, peons, drivers, superintendents, police constables, ticket collectors, upper division clerks, etc. It is almost a year that the government has not had a major recruitment drive.
Speaking on the report of the economic revival committee, Sawant said, “The state government is studying the report, and the committee has given suggestions. Once we discuss it with them (the committee) it would be implemented.
The state’s economic revival committee, in its final report submitted to the government, had laid maximum thrust on boosting agricultural and allied activities to make Goa self-sufficient. It has recommended that taxi operators, who have been considerably affected due to the slump in tourism and the Covid-19 pandemic, be integrated with the agriculture sector to supply items to farmers and transport their produce to markets or horticulture outlets.
Raising concerns that Goa had a migrant population of approximately three lakhs, the committee has recommended that the government finalise the state population policy at the earliest. “We need to carefully devise value chains of labour and ensure that no new influx takes place that will create immense pressure on the stressed social infrastructure besides creating a major impact on the state’s identity and demography,” the committee had reported.
