Shillong, Nov 21: The Federation of Khasi Jaintia and Garo People (FKJGP) on Monday met with the Chairman of the Meghalaya Public Service Commission (MPSC) to discuss the issue of unemployment.

President of FKJGP, Dundee Khongsit, said it was a fruitful meeting and the Chairman highlighted the problem faced by the MPSC in speeding up the process of recruitment.

Khongsit mentioned that the Chairman cited that the slow process of recruitment is due to the large number of applicants for small posts. “If there is an advertisement for 5 posts, thousands are applying for it,” said Khongsit.

He further said the organisation and chairman are on the same page that it is high time for the government to create its own IT cell within the MPSC office so that it can take advantage of the technology available.
