Student activist Mahto announced a statewide recruitment reform campaign covering all 24 districts of Jharkhand, pledging a unified set of resolutions to improve hiring practices.
Jharkhand student leader Mahto has unveiled a comprehensive recruitment reform campaign that will be rolled out across the state's 24 districts. The initiative, titled "24 districts, 24 resolutions, one voice," aims to address perceived irregularities and lack of transparency in public and private sector hiring.
According to the campaign brief, each district will adopt a specific resolution focusing on issues such as merit‑based selection, timely advertisement of vacancies, and grievance redressal mechanisms. Mahto emphasized that a coordinated approach is essential to ensure that job seekers, especially fresh graduates, receive fair opportunities.
The campaign is set to begin with a series of public meetings and workshops in district headquarters, where local student groups and civil‑society organizations will collaborate with authorities. Mahto urged government officials to engage constructively, stating that the reforms could enhance both employment outcomes and public trust in the recruitment process.
Stakeholders have welcomed the move, noting that systematic reforms could reduce nepotism and streamline hiring across sectors. The campaign will continue for several weeks, with progress reports expected from each district.
If successful, the initiative may serve as a model for other states seeking to overhaul their recruitment frameworks and promote meritocracy.
