Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena has made a landmark decision in Ladakh by abolishing the restrictions that barred government employees with graduation and higher degrees from applying for graduate-level posts. Previously, those appointed to lower-qualification positions, such as multi-tasking staff, were required to submit affidavits declaring their lower educational status, rendering them ineligible for future recruitment in graduate-level roles. Saxena criticized this policy as 'unjustified' and 'restrictive,' emphasizing that it violated the fundamental right to seek appropriate employment. The new order allows all existing employees to compete for graduate-level positions without the burden of previous declarations. This move is expected to benefit thousands of youth in Ladakh, encouraging them to pursue career advancement in a region where job opportunities are limited. Saxena reaffirmed the administration's commitment to equal opportunities and inclusive governance, ensuring that no eligible candidate is hindered by outdated regulations.
