Himachal Pradesh Introduces New Trainee Policy Amidst Opposition
The Himachal Pradesh government has a new plan for hiring people.
Instead of hiring workers the old way, they will now be hired as trainees for two years.
After the two years, they will become permanent employees.
This replaces a system where hiring decisions were made randomly, and it took two to eight years to become a permanent employee.
The government says this is better because it's fair and makes departments run smoother.
The opposition party, however, is not happy with this.
They say the new policy hurts young people looking for jobs.
Himachal Pradesh government introduces a new trainee policy.
The policy aims to end the previous ad-hoc system for regularizing employees.
Employees will be regularized after a two-year training period.
A departmental examination will be conducted after the training.
Opposition BJP criticized the policy, alleging it cheats unemployed youth.
