Hey folks! Today at the Gokhale Institute of Politics and Economics in Pune, Sitaram Kunte, former Chief Secretary of Government of Maharashtra, spoke about the hot topic of lateral entry. He mentioned that aligning lateral entry with social justice principles is important but definitely not an easy task.
Dr. Ajit Ranade, Vice Chancellor of the institute, was also present at the event. Kunte discussed the history of lateral entry, mentioning that it dates back to the 1950s. He highlighted the controversy surrounding the recent recruitment process under the lateral entry scheme, where the lack of mention of reservation sparked opposition.
Supporters of lateral entry argue that it brings in specialized skills and fresh perspectives for reforms, while opponents claim it undermines reservation policies and affects career prospects of existing bureaucrats. Kunte emphasized the importance of a balanced and transparent recruitment process.
He also shed light on how reservation rules would apply to the proposed recruitment of 45 candidates in the 4th phase. Kunte explained the intricacies of the reservation process and the 200 point roster method to the students during the interactive session that followed the talk.
The debate on lateral entry and social justice continues to be a heated one, with varying perspectives on the impact of this recruitment policy. Stay tuned for more updates on this evolving issue!
