Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Saturday said his government has ensured transparency in the recruitment process which was earlier plagued by nepotism and casteism.
Speaking at the inaugural function of the 24th National Conference of Chairmen of State Public Service Commissions in Lucknow, he said that under previous state governments, 1.5 lakh posts were lying vacant as the Supreme Court had stayed recruitment on complaints of shortage. Transparency.
“When we took charge of the state in 2017, there were a lot of complaints regarding the Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission, Subordinate Services Selection Commission, higher Education Selection Commission and Secondary Education Selection Commission Examination,” he said.
“So much so that the court’s intervention was sought to stop several recruitment exams. In some cases, the court had also made serious remarks. I told the officials that the shortcomings should be removed. Earlier the recruitment process was not transparent. Nepotism and casteism prevailed in the recruitment process and injustice was done to the meritorious and talented candidates.”
The Chief Minister said that the government has formed a team of honest officers to ensure transparency in the recruitment process. In an ideal society, recruitment agencies, whether it is the Union Public Service Commission or the State Public Service Commission, have a big role to play.
He said that in the last six years, the government has made 5.5 lakh appointments and has not raised any question on any appointment. However, he added that the number of appointments is not sufficient for a state with a population of 25 crore.
The Chief Minister said that since many youths were reluctant to join the government sector, the state had devised a “one district, one product” program to promote entrepreneurship and unique products in its 75 districts.
Due to better law and order situation, a lot of investment has come in the state.
Global Investors Summit was organized in the state from February 10 to 12, in which investment proposals worth Rs 35 lakh crore were received. He said that soon the foundation stone laying ceremony of projects worth Rs 10 lakh crore would be held.
