Rajya Chayan Aayog to be fair, transparent: Himachal CM
Shimla, February 12
Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu said the newly constituted Himachal Pradesh Rajya Chayan Aayog (HPRCA) would implement stringent measures to ensure transparency in its functioning and conducting of recruitment examinations for Group-C posts.
Reiterating that the state government has zero tolerance for corruption, Sukhu said the Aayog would set an example for other states in transparency and impartiality. The state Cabinet recently gave its nod to notify Rules of Business and Procedure in respect of HPRCA.

The CM said examination papers would be set by an automated process, reducing manual interference to maintain complete transparency. The eligible candidates would have to fill out online job applications with one-time registration facility, he said, adding that registered users could also easily access the job notification/advertisement through HPRCA’s dashboard as well.
He said after scrutinising the application, e-admit cards would be generated against their user IDs, to be downloaded by the candidates and they would be only allowed to enter the examination centres after proper verification of e-admit cards through barcode scanning or biometric verification. Sukhu said the Rajya Chayan Aayog might decide from time to time to conduct the written objective type screening test through online mode, under CCTV camera surveillance to maintain transparency.
The CM said the Himachal Pradesh Staff Selection Commission was disbanded due to the corrupt practices and selling of jobs. “The previous government had played with the future of youth and evidences found indicated malpractices in the functioning of the commission. The current government is committed to safeguarding the interests of the state’s youth and ensure transparency in governance,” he said.
