Arunachal Pradesh Reviews Job Reservation Policy and Proposes Recruitment Reforms
The Arunachal Pradesh government has formed a six-member High-Level Committee to review the state's 80:20 recruitment reservation ratio and assess the legal feasibility of requiring Permanent Resident Certificates and Scheduled Tribe certificates for all state jobs. This move responds to demands from indigenous groups seeking greater job security amid limited private sector opportunities. Meanwhile, the All Arunachal Pradesh Women's Welfare Society has proposed administrative reforms, including transparent, merit-based recruitment, professional HR involvement, district immersion programs for new officers, workload-based staffing, and a digital HR dashboard to enhance governance and public service delivery.
