Himachal Cabinet brings public service commission under law preventing exam malpractices

Thursday, 02 March 2023 | PNS | Shimla

The Himachal Pradesh Cabinet on Wednesday decided to bring the state's public service commission within the ambit of a law enacted to prevent malpractices at university, board and other examinations.

The decision to bring the Himachal Pradesh Public Service Commission under the Himachal Pradesh Prevention of Malpractices at University, Board or Other Specified Examinations Act, 1984, aims to ensure fair and transparent selection of candidates.

On February 21, the government dissolved the Himachal Pradesh Staff Selection Commission after the paper for the Junior Office Assistant (IT) was leaked and transferred all ongoing recruitment to the public service commission.

It was decided at the meet to fill nine posts of the Himachal Pradesh Administrative Services on a regular basis through the public service commission. The Cabinet also approved the creation of 45 posts of different categories for Vulnerable Witness Deposition Centres in all 11 civil and sessions divisions, besides the Nalagarh, Sarkaghat, Sundernagar and Ghumarwin subdivisions.

The Cabinet meeting, chaired by Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu, also decided to bring 90,362 MNREGA workers, Ekal Nari and persons with more than 40 per cent disability, registered street vendors and children living in orphanages under the Ayushman Bharat – Pradhan Mantri Jan Aarogya Yojna.

Approval was also accorded to set up a dedicated Centre for Science, Learning and Creativity at Bhog village in Anandpur (Shoghi) of Shimla to provide a forum for children to pursue their natural curiosity and quench their thirst for creativity. It would also support mass dissemination of hands-on science education and lead innovation in learning.
