New Chairman in place, JPSC still Crawling


Ranchi,July,23:The affair does not seem to be improving in the JPSC though Shiv Basant has already taken the charge of the commission as chairman. Indecisiveness on the pending fourth Civil Services PT result and many other examinations has started generating a sense of anxiety among the aspirants.

Applicants are getting united demanding speedy disbursal of the process but just progress. Earlier just after the examination JPSC told that PT result would be declared in April however amid controversy around repetition of questions in the exam conducted in March so clue of result is yet.

 The internal sources in the JPSC said that something concrete would come-out “very soon”. “You would see results soon. Actually, the Commission is willing to walk slowly but surely. Every decision is being made after much deliberation and discussion. There is no hurry,” told an official.

The Commission has been facing stiff staff crunch and it has been sighted as the main reason behind slow progress made in various areas. With some top level vacancies, the JPSC requires 25 to 30 staffs to perform the examination processes. Most of the staffs are working on the deputation in the JPSC. As per the existing plan, the JPSC is slated to conduct as much as seven examinations to fill nearly 3,000 posts in various departments by the end of this year.

Giving the reason behind staff crunch a senior official of the JPSC while, requesting anonymity, said that there are very takers for the vacant post emerging in here. “With tarnished reputation and continuous probes officials keep away from the Commission. Many of the staffs do not want to come here.” Scarcity of staffers raises its head more noticeably when any examination process starts.

“The situation became even complex when existing staffers show reluctance in participating in the examination process. Many claim that their wards are appearing in any particular exam and deny playing their role,” said a senior member of the Commission. 

Though after a long time, the Jharkhand Government had appointed a fulltime head of the JPSC, very little recruitment have been made on the other vacant post into the Commission, making it virtually handicapped. “It is the main reason behind delay in several processes,” said an official.
