The Hindu
2 lakh appointments were made through the PSC in the State in the past six years
The Kerala government follows a divergent policy from the Union government as far as filling vacancies in government services are concerned, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has said.
Speaking after inaugurating the 49th State Conference of the Kerala Public Service Commission Employees Union here on Saturday, he said that as many as 2 lakh appointments were made through the PSC in the State in the past six years, while around 10 lakh posts are lying vacant in institutions under the Union government.
"In the past years, only 0.33% of those who have applied for Central services have got a job. Even institutions which used to have a high recruitment rate in the past are under a recruitment freeze. However in Kerala, a committee functions under the Chief Secretary just to report vacancies in the various departments. Even during the COVID-19 period, when the country came to a standstill, the Kerala PSC was able to give 29,000 job advices. During the same period, only 4,119 appointments were made through the UPSC," said Mr.Vijayan.
Union President K.Sebastin presided over the function. PSC Chairperson M.K.Sakeer inaugurated a send-off meeting in the afternoon.
