The State Govt. is facing crisis and seek an answer; to remain in dilemma or to resolves to undertake the task of fulfillment with all reasonable means and resources to handle the case of appointment of relatives of retiring employees. Years ago, the government had decided not to favour in appointment of relatives/ children of those retired employees and also no Govt. employee shall be given the option to get their children or their candidates appointment against the resultant vacancy of their normal or voluntary retirement. Such resultant vacancy should be advertised and filled up as per rules.
There exists the policy and rules that a government servant can opt. for voluntarily retirement after 20(twenty) years of service, however, they cannot put a condition that the govt. should consider their request for appointment of their children/ relatives against the resultant vacancy. The order further says that in order to give a fair chance to others , and also considering the unemployment problem amongst the youth , this practice has to be discontinued .
Evidently, still random practice of such appointment of relatives of those retired employees is continuing in different departments. The defaulting departments may have atleast some excuses and priority through influential high officials and politicians. The govt. cannot sleep for long on the issue, and should make an assessment of the progress if any made by the monitoring agency of such standing order. We are aware that the Govt. has in mind that it has to maintain that there exist blood and body - politic and the policy of having a soul of prosperity and fairness.
Uprising number of educated unemployed imply a fundamental change in the outlook of the State , a deeper concern , justice and fair play which largely depend upon the compassion. The protest or problems cannot be wished away nor the govt. keep up the pretence of being concerned about the reservation of backward tribes or about the educated employed youth. We want to live where people can choose to work, where all citizens are equal and where good policies are welcome. There is a tendency to revolve but cannot on the lines of existing rules.
Let us think about the future destiny of those youth who hang in line at the square of Employment Exchange and should not allow them to live by slogan, their face and march in protest.
