Chandigarh 25 June 2024 Punjab Khabarnama – Haryana Chief Minister, Sh. Nayab Singh said that the socio-economic criteria fixed for government recruitment uphold the spirit of Antyodaya. He reaffirmed the government’s commitment to protecting the interests of candidates appointed to Group C and Group D posts in government jobs. The government stands with all these candidates and assured that it will adopt every possible legal remedy to address the socio-economic criteria issue. If necessary, a bill will also be introduced in the Assembly, said Sh. Nayab Singh unequivocally.
The Chief Minister while addressing a press conference held today, said that the Supreme Court’s decision has not raised any questions about the CET exam. According to policy, the CET results are valid for three years.
Sh. Nayab Singh said that in February 2018, the present state government had formulated a policy to award some additional marks in examinations for government jobs to poor widows, orphans, members of families deprived of government jobs for many decades, youth from denotified tribes, and also to temporary government employees. Due to this policy, thousands of poor youth and temporary employees have secured permanent government jobs since then.
He further shared that in 2018, a double bench of the High Court itself had appreciated the provision of 5 marks based on the socio-economic criteria by the Haryana government.
