NDTV
The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) on August 17 issued a notification to hire 45 joint secretaries, directors and deputy secretaries through lateral entry
Hours after the government's top recruitment body UPSC cancelled its advertisement for lateral hiring, Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw has pointed out the Narendra Modi government will apply the principle of reservation in the lateral entry scheme.
The Prime Minister has once again strengthened BR Ambedkar's commitment to the Constitution with this important decision, Mr Vaishnaw told reporters.
"UPSC adopted a very transparent method for lateral entry. Now, we have decided to apply the principle of reservation in that too. Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji has always shown his commitment towards social justice," said Mr Vaishnaw, the Minister of Railways, Information and Broadcasting, and Electronics and Information Technology.
