Rajasthan Announces 125,000 Government Jobs, but No Recruitment Calendar Issued, Leaving 3 Million Unemployed in Limbo

Rajasthan Government Jobs: Unemployed individuals in Rajasthan are demanding that the state government release a department-wise calendar for the 1.25 lakh job recruitments announced in the budget.

Rajasthan Government Job: While the Bhajanlal government’s announcement of over 125,000 government recruitments in this year’s budget offered hope to the unemployed, the lack of clarity on the number of positions per department has left over 3 million unemployed Rajasthanis in a state of uncertainty. The unemployed are awaiting large-scale recruitments in various departments, including education, medical, revenue, and energy, but the absence of a recruitment calendar has left candidates confused. The unemployed are demanding that the government release a department-wise calendar for the 125,000 recruitments announced in the budget so they can plan their preparations effectively.

Fourth-Class Employee Recruitment in the State

Recruitment of over 53,000 fourth-class employees in the state has been stalled since last year. The government is now claiming to conduct the examination this year.

 

Sanitation Worker Recruitment

The recruitment of sanitation workers has been entangled in procedural issues for the past two and a half years.

Expert Opinion

The initiative to release the recruitment calendar is commendable, but the government should also prioritize the timelines for examinations and the process of releasing results. After announcing 125,000 recruitments, the government should provide clear information on the number of positions per department to alleviate the uncertainty among the unemployed.
