SHILLONG, May 31: RTI activist, Disparsing Rani said that the implementation of the roster system provides talented sports persons an avenue for employment for as per the RTI report received from the Sports Department, from 2010 to 2017 no sports person was employed in the 2 percent sports quota reservation.
He said that the absence of a reservation has demotivated the talented sports persons who are left unnoticed or unrecognised.
Rani on the one hand expressed that there had been complaints about new recruits in the Secretariat, and expressed that perhaps the introduction of the roster is only a means to recruit contractual and officiating employees.
He said that based on this complaint received from a few sections, an RTI was filed on 119 posts in case there was any unfair means used because many a times in the case of recruitment it is only the rich that are given employment.
At the same time, Rani informed that as per the reports he had received, there are about 290 vacancies in different government departments, and informed that till now there are 3367 posts that are vacant. He further stated that for the 3077 vacant posts, some time ago, the matter was handed over to the KSU to also give it some due importance.
