BJP government in state consistently working to address unemployment: Uttarakhand CM
Dehradun, August 6
Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami has said that his government has been consistently working to address unemployment since assuming office. As part of this effort, the state has undertaken a special drive to fill vacancies across government departments, resulting in more than 34,000 youths securing government jobs over the past four and a half years.
According to a release, he said that recruitment for thousands of additional posts in various departments will be taken forward in the coming months, creating more employment opportunities for eligible candidates and accelerating the state's development.
Ahead of the upcoming Uttarakhand Assembly elections, the Dhami government is once again preparing to launch a major recruitment drive for government jobs. In this regard, the Uttarakhand Subordinate Service Selection Commission (UKSSSC) is set to begin the recruitment process for around 2,500 posts across various departments before December.
At the same time, written examinations for approximately 1,500 posts, for which applications have already been received, are also scheduled to be conducted before December. As a result, the recruitment process for nearly 4,000 government posts is expected to reach a crucial stage by the end of the year.
UKSSSC Chairman G S Martolia said that the application process for around 2,477 posts will be completed before December. These include vacancies for Scaler, Junior Assistant, Personal Assistant, Graduate-Level Science posts, uniformed posts in the Police, Excise and Transport Departments, Assistant Teachers in the Sanskrit Department, and Assistant Development Officers.
Simultaneously, examinations for 1,470 posts, where the application process has already been completed, will also be held before December. These include posts such as Personal Assistant, Livestock Extension Officer, various technical positions, Assistant Accountant, Intermediate-Level posts in the Agriculture Department, and Graduate-Level posts in different departments, the release said.

This is good news but let's be realistic - these are just government jobs. What about private sector investments and industrial development? The state needs a holistic approach for sustained employment, not just recruitment drives before elections. People are still leaving Uttarakhand for better opportunities.
Transparency is key here. Let's see if the recruitment process is actually merit-based and corruption-free. I've seen too many cases where paperwork is done but ground reality for candidates is full of hurdles. Hope UKSSSC does a fair and clean job this time. 🤞
Bahut achhi pehel hai! 😄 The fact that they're filling posts in police, transport, and education departments is a big relief. My hometown Nainital needs more government employees, especially for the rural areas. Let's hope the commissions speed up, and candidates don't have to wait years for results.
I'm a bit skeptical about the timing - all this just before assembly elections seems a bit political. But if genuine candidates get jobs, it's still a win. My only concern is whether the exam dates and notifications are clear so young people can prepare properly. Good luck to all the applicants!
Looking forward to the 2,500 UKSSSC posts opening up! 🎯 I've been preparing for the Junior Assistant exam for two years now. Just hope the exam center allotment is done properly across all districts this time - last time many students from Chamoli had to travel far for their tests. Also, kindly ensure timely results for the 1,470 pending posts.
