JAMMU, Feb 25 :- CPI(M) State Secretary and MLA Kulgam, MY Tarigami has demanded transparency and accountability in recruitment process. According to him, the goal can be achieved by introducing written tests for recruitment.
In a statement issued here this evening, Tarigami said: “Lack of transparency and accountability in recruitment agencies have discredited these and such procedural practices are in vague for selection purposes that leave much scope for favouritism and other manipulations.”

Tarigami said that if selections for various professional courses are made through entrance tests, why the same could not be adopted by the J&K Public Service Commission, SSRB and other recruiting agencies while making selections for various cadres.
It was astonishing that most of the selections by these agencies are made only through direct interviews and even in cases, where screening tests are conducted to shortlist the candidates for the viva-voce, no weightage is given for the merit obtained by the candidates in the screening tests, which was not justified, he said.
Yusuf said the overall performance in both written tests as well as interviews was the only way to get the meritorious and deserving candidates selected in a fair way and even abandoning the interview process could prove more transparent and fool proof.

“Every now and then the aspirants not making to the grade for the selections express grievances of being aggrieved, and need was to remove misgivings and apprehensions among the people especially job seeking youth through a fool proof selection process by amending the existing rules was imperative, as also credible and honest officers be posted in recruitment agencies. There was no harm if the selections were made only through written tests that could reduce the scope for favouritism and ensure time specific selections”, he said.

Urging the government to take cognizance of the grievances of the aggrieved, as regards the selections, CPI (M) leader suggested probes where ever needed to ensure transparency and accountability at all levels is maintained. “If manipulations continue in recruitments, the job seekers are sure to lose faith in the recruitment agencies and cause alienation among them. He also demanded immediate identification of vacancies in government departments and filling up of these through fast tract process”, he said.
