Mumbai: Maharashtra Tribal Development Minister Dr. Ashok Uike has ordered a special recruitment drive to fill vacancies in 13 districts under the Panchayats (Extension to Scheduled Areas) (PESA) Act. The recruitment process must comply with rules, be transparent, and adhere to a set timeline to offer job opportunities to eligible Scheduled Tribe candidates.
A review meeting held at Mantralaya, attended by Uike and Chief Secretary Rajesh Agrawal, discussed the status of existing posts, reservation points, and issues hindering recruitment. Departments were tasked with resolving administrative challenges through cooperation and submitting district-wise information on vacancies. The Chief Secretary also requested officials to investigate allegations of misappropriation of ₹1.18 crore and 45-50 tolas of gold belonging to a Chembur elderly woman official.
Clear guidelines for recruiting candidates from the "local Scheduled Tribe" category will be established after considering legal and constitutional provisions. The meeting further examined the status of teacher recruitment in PESA areas and directed officials to evaluate applications from the Pavitra portal, district-wise teacher requirements, and address any teacher shortages.
