Denis Giles, Port Blair: The Member of Parliament, Mr. Kuldeep Rai Sharma has requested the Hon’ble Lt. Governor of Andaman and Nicobar Islands to make the entire recruitment process of all the existing vacancies in Andaman and Nicobar Islands, totally offline. He has also requested to take some prominent measures so that 100 percent of vacancies are filled up with local youths.
The Member of Parliament today called on the Hon’ble Lt. Governor at Raj Niwas and during the meeting, he said that the recent direction of Hon’ble Lt. Governor to all the Departments to expedite recruitment of all vacant posts in a time-bound manner, particularly Group B (NG) and Group C posts, has infused a high-level enthusiasm and unlimited joy among the unemployed youths of Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
He said that Islanders are hopeful that this time thousands of vacant posts will surely be filled up in a time-bound manner, which will in-turn transform the lives of thousands of families in Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
Sharma pointed out that presently the only cause of concern in this matter is that in the previous few recruitments drives, it has been observed that large numbers of mainland candidates are being selected in various jobs of Andaman and Nicobar Administration as they have obtained better training in competitive exam classes and they have more exposure than the local youths in many fields.
The Member of Parliament mentioned that jobs in Andaman and Nicobar Islands are limited and there are thousands of thousands of unemployed youths who are waiting to get a government job but now they are fearing that if all the vacancies, to be published in coming days, are filled-up through online mode, most of the jobs will be taken away by mainland candidates.
