New Delhi: Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi on Wednesday announced that 30 per cent state government jobs will be reserved for candidates belonging to rural areas from 2013 end.
"In order to achieve inclusive growth and facilitate decentralisation, we are planning to bring to effect 30 per cent reservation in government jobs in all sectors to candidates from villages of Assam," Gogoi said at a press conference in New Delhi.
The Chief Minister also proposed a Rural Administrative Service in Assam and it will extensively and comprehensively administer at Panchayat level in all sectors.
"Rural administrative services operating at the grassroots are important to facilitate devolution of power for effective administration, which often remains neglected. This will also check the sub-contracting of developmental projects," he said.
Gogoi said the rural administrative service will ensure countryside deputation and this will solve the problem of reluctant officers, who prefers not to leave capital city Guwahati.
In the backdrop of the recent violence in the state, the Chief Minister informed that only 21,749 people out of 4,85,000, who were displaced and rendered homeless, were in relief camps now. "While rehabilitating the victims, the forest land rights and tribal belts and blocks rights have been ensured and proper mechanism followed." Gogoi said.
