KSUK backs age relaxation demand of civil services aspirants
DIMAPUR — The Konyak Students’ Union, Kohima (KSUK) has expressed its solidarity and support to the demands made by the civil services aspirants regarding age relaxation up to 37 years.
In a press release, the KSUK acknowledged the fact that the aspirants will be losing a great amount of time and dedication they have put into due to their age expiration, which is the result of the COVID-19 pandemic as they did not get the chance to appear the civil services exams during the pandemic.
Terming the one-time age relaxation order issued by the Personnel and Administrative Reforms department as “biased,” the union maintained that the government should give equal treatment to all aspirants.
“Today, over one in four youth is unemployed and frustrated which is also directly or indirectly the failure of the government. The government has failed miserably to give employment opportunities to the youths of Nagaland,” it stated.
The union urged the state government to reconsider its policy and make necessary arrangements like that of other states for those “aspirants who are deprived of their rightful opportunities due to non-compliance of age relaxation and give equitable and inclusive solution to the problem.”
