AGARTALA, Dec 2 (TIWN): Amid much boasting about transparent recruitment policy and ‘Swarojgar’ for the unemployed youths, Tripura has been strict to the top position in unemployment rate with abnormal figure of the unemployment percentage. Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy Pvt. Ltd. (CMIE) has revealed monthly report on unemployment which has ranked Tripura as topper in unemployment rate with 32% in November month. The state which tops second in unemployment rate is Haryana with 19.2% whereas both Himachal Pradesh and Chandigarh’s unemployment rate is 19.1%. Oher Northeast states as Assam’s unemployment rate is 8.2%, whereas Meghalaya only 3%. Tripura which was recorded with 15% of unemployment rate highest under the previous Govt, now resulted in double unemployment rate than earlier, whereas the BJP before election had promised as soon as BJP will make a Govt in Tripura, within 1 year 50,000 vacant posts will be filled up. Instead of recruiting, BJP Govt has cancelled all existing recruitments.

Most surprisingly Tripura Public Service Commission (TPSC) which is autonomous body, has cancelled many recruitments, which were going since two years. 

Recently, Tripura Public Service Commission (TPSC) even though autonomous body has cancelled at least 11 existing recruitments has fueled massive resentment effecting thousands of jobs aspirants.

In many of the recruitments, already many were selected but under BJP Govt pressure TPSC was bound to cancel of them.

The cancelled 11 recruitments of TPSC are : 1) Assistant Professor in Law, Tripura Govt. Law College under Education (Higher) Department, Govt. of Tripura, 2) Statistical Inspector, under Labour Department, Govt. of Tripura, 3) Inspector of Factories in the Factories & Boilers Organization under Labour Department, Govt. of Tripura, 4) Scientific Officer under PWD (DWS), Govt. of Tripura, 5) Inspector of Boilers in the Factories & Boilers Organization under Labour Department, Govt. of Tripura, 6) Principal, Technical (Engineering) Degree College (i.e. TIT) Tripura under Education (Higher) Department, Govt. of Tripura,7) Curator, Tripura State Museum under the Education (Higher) Department, Govt. of Tripura, 8) Principal, College of Teacher Education (CTE) under the Education (Higher) Department, Govt. of Tripura, 9) Lecturer, Diploma Level Technical Institutions in Tripura Under Education (Higher) Department, Govt. of Tripura, 10) Sub-Inspector of Excise under Excise organization, Finance Department, Govt. of Tripura, 11) Agriculture Officer TAFS under the Department of Agriculture, Govt. of Tripura. 

Apart from that, terminations, other depts jobs cancellation have increased the unemployment percentage. 

However, chief Minister Biplab Deb has continued to motivates youths not to go after Govt jobs as becoming self-dependent is much “benefited”. Also his viral suggestion of cow-rearing, paan-shop opening generated time to time resentments.
