West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari announced a forthcoming recruitment policy aimed at eliminating irregularities in public sector hiring during the 19th Rozgar Mela in Kolkata. The initiative is a response to significant scandals, including the teacher recruitment scam and the municipality recruitment scam, which resulted in the cancellation of 26,000 jobs and legal interventions by the Supreme Court and Calcutta High Court. Adhikari indicated that the new policy would draw inspiration from the recruitment rules of the Railway Recruitment Board and other central government bodies. To enhance transparency, candidates will now receive carbon copies of their OMR sheets, a practice previously absent and seen as fostering corruption. Furthermore, the policy will comply with a 100-point roster for reservations, ensuring equitable representation in hiring processes.
