Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah praised the Council Secretariat's recruitment process as a benchmark for government departments. For the first time, recruitment was handled by the Karnataka Examinations Authority, featuring a transparent written exam, merit list preparation, and final selection. The process included professional document verification by external officials, software capability tests, and CCTV surveillance throughout. The Chief Minister highlighted that many selected candidates were from rural backgrounds, including rank holders, and noted the selection of a visually impaired candidate's daughter.
