Govt to advertise for 2,208 vacancies: Goa CM Pramod Sawant
Chief minister Pramod Sawant on Monday said that state govt will soon advertise for 2,208 govt jobs through the Goa Staff Selection Commission (SSC) to fill vacancies in different govt departments.
'Of the 3,429 vacancies referred to the SSC, 1,221 have been advertised by the commission, and the balance to be advertised is 2,208. Forty-eight vacancies have already been filled through the SSC,' he said.
The Goa Staff Selection Commission Act, 2019, came into effect on May 18, 2019, pursuant to which all the recruitments to Group C posts in the departments under the state administration are to be carried out only through the commission, ensuring merit-based recruitment.
The commission received requisitions from various departments intimating the vacancies for filling up the posts by direct recruitment for 2023, 2024 and 2025.
Sawant said that temporary status was conferred by govt on all daily wage workers who have been working in govt departments, corporations and autonomous bodies for more than seven years.
'Temporary status ensures fixed initial remuneration in the range of a minimum of Rs 21,800 to Rs 26,800 per month, along with leave benefits like casual leave, sick leave and maternity leave like regular employees, and an annual increment of 3%,' the CM said.

'The scheme will benefit around 3,000 daily wage employees.'
On the absorption of home guards as police constables, Sawant said that recognising the long years of voluntary service put in by home guards, govt has given them the opportunity to serve as police constables.
He said that the Goa Human Resource Development Corporation has become self-sustainable by generating its own revenue for its regular operations. 'The present strength of GHRDC is more than 4,500 in various categories, namely security guards, housekeeping personnel, junior office assistants, MTS, drivers and casual workers who are deployed all over Goa in various govt departments and autonomous bodies at more than 300 locations,' Sawant said.
The chief minister said that govt has provided a 10% reservation for GHRDC personnel for vacancies in police, directorate of fire and emergency services, forest department, and excise department.

Israel-Gaza conflict: Al Jazeera says 4, not 5, staff killed in Israeli strike; 2 victims were freelancers
Anas al-Sharif (AP) A recent Israeli airstrike killed four Al Jazeera journalists and two freelancers, the Qatar-based broadcaster said on Tuesday, correcting its earlier report that five of six victims were staff members. Initially, the network identified correspondents Anas al-Sharif and Mohammed Qreiqeh and camera operators Ibrahim Zaher, Mohammed Noufal, and Moamen Aliwa as those killed in Sunday's attack. In a corrected report on its English-language website, Al-Jazeera clarified that Moamen Aliwa was a freelance cameraman and the sixth journalist killed in the attack, Mohammed al-Khalidi was also a freelancer. "An earlier version of this story referred to Israel killing five Al Jazeera staff. The number of Al Jazeera journalists Israel killed was four," Al Jazeera stated. The late Sunday strike on a tent outside the main gate of Gaza City's Al Shifa hospital has drawn international condemnation, and Al Jazeera has called the act an 'assassination.' Moments before his death, Anas al-Sharif, 28, an Al Jazeera Arabic correspondent known for his extensive reporting from northern Gaza, posted on X that Israel was carrying out intense, concentrated bombardments, referred to as 'fire belts', on Gaza city's eastern and Southern areas. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like New Container Houses Indonesia (Prices May Surprise You) Container House | Search ads Search Now Undo The Israeli military acknowledged carrying out the strike, one of Al Jazeera's most recognisable correspondents, alleging he was a 'terrorist' who 'posed as a journalist,' reports AFP. Al Jazeera condemned the killings and rejected the allegations against Sharif, stating the Israeli attack came after "repeated incitement and calls by multiple Israeli officials and spokespersons to target the fearless journalist Anas Al Sharif and his colleagues." In a final message dated April 6, intended for release in the event of his death, al-Sharif wrote that he had 'lived the pain in all its details' and had 'tasted grief and loss repeatedly,' reported Al Jazeera. 'Despite that, I never hesitated to convey the truth as it is, without distortion or misrepresentation, hoping that God would witness those who remained silent, those who accepted our killing, and those who suffocated our very breaths,' Sharif said. Media watchdog Reporters Without Borders (RSF) stated in early July that the war in Gaza has claimed the lives of over 200 journalists, including several working for Al Jazeera.
