Himachal to setup new recruitment commission to replace HP Staff Selection Commission
Shimla
Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu on Wednesday announced to set up a new recruitment commission to replace the disbanded HP Staff Selection Commission (HPSSC).
A notification in this regard will be issued shortly, Sukhu said after Deepak Shanan Committee submitted its recommendations.
The committee was tasked with giving recommendations on the design of the new commission after irregularities in HPSSC recruitment were found.
The committee gave a comprehensive presentation in a meeting held on Tuesday evening under the chairmanship of CM Sukhu.
The presentation highlighted various measures aimed at ensuring transparency, structural integrity, and fairness in the proposed recruitment commission.
“The government is committed to ensuring a transparent recruitment process that prioritizes the interests of the state’s youth.
The new commission would focus solely on merit-based selection, eradicating concerns about leaks and other irregularities.
The new system is designed to minimize human interference during exams, employing foolproof methods to maintain integrity.
Modern tools, practices, and techniques will be employed in crafting exam papers, streamlining the recruitment process and combating corruption,” he added.
The CM said that recruitment would commence once the new Selection Commission was set up.
The state government will not tolerate any manipulation that affects the welfare of the youth of the state. The decision to dissolve the HPSSC was motivated by the need to address rampant corruption, he said.
The committee’s chairman Deepak Shanan said a second report would be submitted shortly, further detailing its functionality more precisely.
