UPSC Jobs: For the first time after Ladakh got the status of a Union Territory, the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) has approved direct recruitment of 232 gazetted posts here. This decision was taken in an important meeting held at the UPSC headquarters in New Delhi on Monday. This high-level meeting was attended by Dr. Pawan Kotwal, Chief Secretary of Ladakh, UPSC Secretary Shashi Ranjan, Joint Secretary of the Ministry of Home Affairs, Mr. Prashant Lokhande, and Secretary of Ladakh Administration, Mr. Michael M. D'Souza.
The need to fill the gazetted posts lying vacant in Ladakh for a long time was discussed in the meeting. Despite the closure of its annual application process, UPSC approved the recruitment given the special circumstances of Ladakh. Dr. Kotwal, Chief Secretary of Ladakh, thanked the UPSC and said that this decision has brought golden opportunities for the youth of Ladakh and will also strengthen the administrative system.
