J&K Government to Fill Over 12,000 Vacancies in Different Departments
The Jammu and Kashmir government has announced plans to address the longstanding issue of unemployment by initiating recruitment processes to fill over 12,000 vacant positions across various government departments. According to official documents obtained by wattandaily.com, 12,264 positions lying vacant in different government departments will be filled, marking a significant step towards alleviating unemployment in the region.
Since 2019, the government has already filled 31,830 vacancies in various departments through multiple recruitment drives, emphasizing a fair, transparent, and expeditious selection process. Interviews for posts up to pay level-5 have been dispensed with, ensuring efficiency in the recruitment process.
Official sources have disclosed that vacancies will be filled in key departments such as health, Jal Shakti, social welfare, rural development, among others. The health department, in particular, has a substantial number of vacant positions, indicating a pressing need for recruitment drives to be conducted promptly.
The recruitment drive is poised to prioritize transparency and efficiency, adhering strictly to established guidelines and procedures. The selection process will be conducted rigorously, aiming for merit-based appointments to uphold the integrity of the civil services.
By filling these vacancies, the government aims to bolster its workforce, streamline service delivery, and foster inclusive development across the region. This initiative underscores the government’s commitment to tackling unemployment and promoting economic growth in Jammu and Kashmir.
Notably, recent data from the Ministry of State for Labour and Employment indicates a decline in the unemployment rate among graduate individuals aged 15 years in Jammu and Kashmir. This positive trend reflects the potential impact of concerted efforts to address unemployment challenges in the region.
In a significant development, the Jammu and Kashmir Home department has referred over 4,000 vacancies in police constable posts to the Services Selection Board, signaling further opportunities for employment generation and skill development in the state.
