Selection panel starts recruiting for 752 govt posts
The Goa Staff Selection Commission (GSSC) has begun the process to fill 752 govt posts and they will be filled at the earliest, chief minister Pramod Sawant said on Thursday.
All other govt departments, which have not notified their vacancies to the GSSC, are being sent reminders by the personnel department to inform the commission about the posts.
All govt posts in the future will be filled only through the GSSC, he said.
The formation of this body has brought about transparency in the recruitment process to govt posts in the state, the CM said after inaugurating the commission's new premises.
'The GSSC has advertised 752 govt posts, two or three exams have already been conducted. Results will be out soon. It is a good thing that Goan youth, when they answer an exam, the minute they leave the exam hall, they know how they have performed.
They do not have to wait for the mark list. As it is a computer-based exam, they get to know immediately how they have fared. This has brought great transparency in the process,' said Sawant.

The CM said, 'All pending recruitment will be carried out at the earliest.'
He said govt is working to provide better office space to all its departments. 'Ever since the GSSC was formed, it has inspired confidence and transparency in the recruitment process in the state. We are continuously working to give our offices new premises, and it was important to give the commission a new office. The GSSC has all the space it needs for its work here, including its own strong room for their confidential work,' said the CM.
The govt offices shifting from Junta House are looking for alternative spaces for a period of two years, and once Junta House is ready, those offices will return there, he said.

Assembly polls in the state are to be held early next year. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villas Prices In Dubai Might Be More Affordable Than You Think Villas In Dubai | Search Ads Get Quote Undo The state government is also exploring whether Orunodoi beneficiaries can be given a subsidy of Rs 250 to purchase LPG cylinders, Sarma said. "If Orunodoi beneficiaries procure an LPG cylinder, they would get a subsidy of Rs 250," he said, adding that this will mean that the beneficiaries are availing a benefit of Rs 1,500 per month. Live Events The Orunodoi scheme, started in 2019 by the BJP-led government in Assam, is one of the largest direct benefit transfer (DBT) initiatives in the state. In 2019, beneficiaries under the scheme received Rs 813 per month. It was subsequently increased to Rs 1,250 per month. Sarma said the government has in the last six months ascertained that only genuine beneficiaries are covered under the scheme and that it covers the remotest corners of the state. The chief minister said the Nijut Moina Scheme--another welfare scheme to provide financial assistance to girl students from higher secondary to post-graduate level in government and government-aided institutions--has had positive impact. " We have seen positive impacts regarding early marriage, school dropout, etc.," he said, adding that the scheme will also be extended to students in central-government run universities of Assam. The prime minister is set to visit Assam on September 8 to take part in the birth centenary celebrations of music maestro Bhupen Hazarika. Sarma said Modi will arrive first at Numaligarh Refinery Limited (NRL) in Golaghat district and dedicate to the nation the bio-ethanol plant, set up at a cost of Rs 4,200 crore. From Mangaldoi in Darrang district, the PM will inaugurate the Guwahati-Ring Road, a bridge over river Brahmaputra connecting Kuruwa and Narengi in Guwahati and lay the foundation stone for the Mangaldoi Medical College Hospital. The projects are worth more than Rs 8,000 crore in total. Home minister Amit Shah is scheduled to visit Assam on August 29 to inaugurate the newly constructed Raj Bhavan in Guwahati. "On August 29, the home minister will visit Guwahati. He will inaugurate the new Raj Bhawan. NDA got a good victory in the panchayat elections, and all the panchayat members of NDA will hold a convention on 29th August in Guwahati,' Sarma said. 'The home minister will attend the convention as the chief guest." Later in the evening, he will inaugurate the birth centenary celebrations of Golap Borbora, Assam's first non-Congress chief minister, before leaving for New Delhi.

House adjourned for 10 mins amid protests over coal-handling cess
Speaker Ramesh Tawadkar adjourned the House for 10 minutes on Friday after opposition MLAs rushed to the well in protest of state govt's failure to collect green cess on coal-handling from Jindal and Adani. The legislators vehemently declared that they did not want coal in Goa. Opposition leader Yuri Alemao alleged that the two companies handled double the amount of coal than the permissible limit, and that govt had failed to recover around Rs 4,000 crore from them. He also said that coal imports increased after the cessation of ore mining in 2012, and that even though everyone objected to coal-handling at the Mormugao port during subsequent public hearings, the activity was still recommended for environmental clearance (EC). Alemao further said that the Goa State Pollution Control Board (GSPCB) had reduced coal-handling at the port by 25% based on a letter by former chief minister Manohar Parrikar, but it was reversed following Parrikar's death. He told the House that the environment department had written a letter calling for a decrease in coal-handling at the Mormugao port and that this letter was put in the public domain at a public hearing. He asked whether the letter was ultimately sent to New Delhi to be included in the coastal zone management plan. While chief minster Pramod Sawant said it was, Alemao claimed it was never sent. 'My charge is that the EC was illegally granted as state govt hid the letter and did not send it to Centre,' the opposition leader said. Sawant responded that all the documents placed at the public hearing were sent to Delhi. Alemao also accused govt of allowing illegalities at the Mormugao port pertaining to coal-handling, but Sawant insisted that govt was not allowing any illegalities there and that coal was handled according to the limit. Environment minister Aleixo Sequeira said the import and export of coal are monitored by the GSPCB, and agreed with the figures pointed out by Alemao. Sequeira said that the GSPCB had not given any permission to increase coal-handling at Mormugao port as there is no bypass road for its transportation. He promised that in the next assembly session, he would provide the correct coal-handling figures. Alemao pointed out that Sawant claimed coal was handled as per the EC limit, but that the environment minister contradicted the chief minister. 'Jindal and Adani are handling double the amount of coal compared to the EC limit,' Alemao said. 'Jindal has not paid green cess since 2013, which amounts to Rs 3,000-4,000 crore, and it needs to be recovered. When will it be recovered?' Sawant replied that govt had recovered green cess on coal-handling. His response didn't sit well with the opposition, prompting them to rush to the well of the House.>

Trump stakes reputation as dealmaker with tariff policy
Donald Trump is staking his reputation as a tough negotiator and slick dealmaker -- that has served him well throughout his life -- with his ultra-muscular, protectionist tariffs policy. On Friday, the White House released a picture of the US president seen with a smartphone pressed to his ear, with the caption: "Making calls. Making deals. MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!"

On Thursday, with the stroke of a black marker, the former real estate developer slapped fresh tariffs on dozens of US trade partners . Live Events They will kick in on August 7 instead of August 1, which had previously been touted as a hard deadline. The Republican leader's backtracking, frequently setting trade deadlines only to rescind or extend them -- he most recently granted Mexico a 90-day extension -- has given rise to the mocking acronym "TACO" ("Trump always chickens out"). The jokes implying Trump is all talk and no action on trade have previously struck a nerve for the president. Not chicken But analysts believe there will be no going back this time. Trump has "not chickened out," according to Josh Lipsky, an international economics expert at the Atlantic Council think tank. Lipsky told AFP the president is "following through, if not exceeding" what he vowed during his campaign in respect to tariffs. Matthew Aks, a public policy analyst at Evercore ISI, said he did not anticipate a "massive shift" on the latest order, aside from some economies like Taiwan or India striking deals during the seven-day buffer. Following crunch negotiations leading up to the tariffs announcement, Trump struck a series of compromises, notably with the European Union, Japan, and South Korea, setting varying tax rates and touting high investments in the United States. The details of these agreements remain vague and leave the door open to key questions: Are exemptions possible? What will become of key sectors like automobiles, pharmaceuticals, semiconductors? And what of China? The US president and leaders of other countries "have reasons to avoid going into detailed agreements" explained Aks, allowing all sides to present the deals in the most positive, or least negative, way possible to their public. The ability to conclude deals -- often with or without crucial detail -- is, for the 79-year-old Republican, an integral part of his political signature. Art form In his book "The Art of the Deal," the billionaire wrote: "Deals are my art form. Other people paint beautifully on canvas or write wonderful poetry. I like making deals, preferably big deals. That's how I get my kicks." Trump explained in his book that he always "protects" himself "by being flexible." "I never get too attached to one deal or one approach." But despite comments about his trade policy reversals, Trump has hardly budged from his trade strategy, and that could prove politically painful. In a survey conducted by Quinnipiac University published in mid-July, only 40 percent of respondents said they supported the president's trade policy, while 56 percent criticized it. The latest employment figures bear the marks of Trump's protectionist offensive, according to experts. Job creation in May and June was revised sharply downward, falling to levels not seen since the Covid-19 pandemic.
