Syllad | The Rising MeghalayaJune 6, 2023

The State Cabinet on Tuesday approved the setting up of a search committee for appointment members of the expert committee to review the state reservation policy and amendment of the office memorandum on reservation roster to start the recruitment process.

Addressing the media, Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma said the government has decided that the chief secretary will head the three-member search committee to look for experts, who will be members of the expert committee to review the reservation policy of the state. 

He said that it was also recommended that the expert committee should be a five-member committee and should have experts from different fields as was mentioned in the notification.

The chief minister also informed that the Cabinet has also approved the amendment of the OM of May, 2022 and that following this, the process of recruitment will immediately start.

“The process of recruitments will also be starting post the OM for the reservation roster that will come out most probably tomorrow or day after tomorrow.

When asked, the chief minister said the recruitment process cannot stop.

“If we put a stop to recruitments then many of our youngsters who are meant to get jobs and who are going to apply for them and who are going to be overage as the days go by will suffer and hence, in the larger interest of ensuring that the youth get the jobs while the review or the discussion of the committees will deliberate on the different aspects of the reservation policy the recruitments will continue,” he stated.
