Haryana's New Policy Aids Poor Families In Government Job Exams

Haryana government's policy of extra marks for poor families in job exams uplifts the needy, ensuring fair opportunities and job security.

The Haryana government is giving extra marks to children from poor families for government jobs. Chief Minister Manohar Lal said this helps uplift the poor. He assured that those already recruited for Group-C and Group-D posts need not worry. The Supreme Court has not questioned the CET exam.

The CET exam results are valid for three years. The CM said this during a press conference on Monday. He also visited Ayodhya to pay respects to Shri Ram Lala and wished prosperity for Haryana's people. In February 2018, the government made a policy to give extra marks to poor widows, orphans, and others.

This policy has helped many poor youth and contractual employees get permanent jobs. A double bench of the High Court appreciated this provision in 2018. The CM accused Congress leaders of misleading the youth with false statements. His government has provided jobs to 132,000 youth in the last nine and a half years.

He criticised the "recruitment-ban gang" for playing with the future of the youth. He said they do not want the poor and needy to get jobs without spending money. Opposition leaders are not interested in helping the youth or the poor, he added.

During Congress rule, nepotism and corruption were common in job recruitment. Jobs were sold to wealthy people, leaving poor families deprived. This led to frustration among the youth. In contrast, his government has given jobs without bribes or recommendations.

This has given hope and confidence to today's youth. Earlier, they looked for references; now they look for libraries to study in. A Congress leader often makes allegations to create confusion, he said.

About 13 lakh 50 thousand youth registered for 13,657 Group-D posts. Out of these, 9 lakh 50 thousand took the CET exam, and 4 lakh 20 thousand qualified. More than 10,000 candidates have already joined.

There are 2,657 candidates whose results were withheld due to social and economic criteria marks. They have not been allowed to join yet. The 11,000 youth who have joined will not face any difficulties; their jobs are safe.

The Supreme Court's order on social and economic criteria will not affect the first stage of the CET exam. To protect nearly 12,000 selected candidates for Group-C, the government will file a review petition before the High Court.
