Through this autonomous body, the Union Territory administration aims to ensure a fair and transparent recruitment process while leveraging technology for efficient outcomes.
By exercising powers conferred by the Constitution of India and relevant statutes, the Lieutenant Governor of Ladakh has initiated measures to regulate recruitment processes, emphasizing fairness and transparency in the selection of candidates for Group ‘B’ (Non-Gazetted) and all Group ‘C’ UT/Divisional Cadre posts.
In essence, these developments reflect a concerted effort by both central and local authorities to address the pressing issues facing the people of Ladakh, paving the way for a more inclusive and equitable future. |
