Delhi Lieutenant Governor (LG) VK Saxena has approved the recruitment of 1,463 healthcare staff in a bid to address the shortage of healthcare personnel and improve the national capital’s public healthcare infrastructure.
He said his government was making all-out efforts to realise dreams and aspirations of the youth and their parents.
The focus of the meeting was on expediting the filling up of posts in the Medical, Paramedical and Nursing Wings of the Delhi Government Hospitals, which has been pending for the past 10 years.
Lakhs of youths preparing for the police recruitment examination can now breathe a sigh of relief as the Uttar Pradesh government has announced new dates for the previously canceled exam.
Declining two pleas challenging Delhi High Court’s February 27 verdict, the apex court said that the candidates, who had earlier got selected through earlier recruitment processes like rallies, physical and medical tests, do not have a “vested right” to appointment.
Not only job aspirants but also political parties have criticised the LG’s administration for making the sensitive issue a prestige matter.
In the second phase of the recruitment drive to be held today, candidates who have applied for Class-III positions will appear for the test.
Around 14 lakh candidates will appear for the examinations. The internet services won't be available within a 100 meters radius of the examination centre.
They all will appear for a computer-based test (CBT) to begin from 17 August to fill up a total of 1,03,769 vacant posts in the Level 1 category in the Railways, for which the minimum qualification is either Class 10 pass or an ITI certificate in any trade.
Rajnath Singh, who arrived at Srinagar on Thursday on two days tour of Jammu and Kashmir, described the scheme a ‘golden opportunity’ to join the nation’s defence services and to serve the country. Singh thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for allowing one time age relaxation for the first batch to be recruited through the scheme.
