Sir,
The article on revamping recruitment processes in Jammu and Kashmir highlights an urgent issue affecting the region’s youth. The delay in advertising over 3,300 vacancies by JKSSRB reflects systemic inefficiencies that undermine job seekers’ aspirations and hinder the functioning of Government departments.
Administrative bottlenecks, outdated recruitment rules, and unresolved legal disputes must be addressed through coordinated efforts between JKSSRB, the Law Department, and other stakeholders. Modernising recruitment rules and leveraging technology-driven solutions, such as an integrated recruitment management system, can enhance transparency and efficiency.
Unfilled vacancies in critical sectors like health and education impact public service delivery and deepen socio-economic challenges. The administration must prioritize time-bound recruitment to rebuild trust and provide timely opportunities for deserving candidates.
By treating recruitment as a responsibility rather than a formality, J&K can empower its youth and pave the way for equitable growth.
