The unpopularity of Jharkhand’s new recruitment policy could have lasting political ramifications

The Hindu  

The call for the withdrawal of Jharkhand’s new “60-40” recruitment policy, being opposed everywhere in the State by student unions, shows no sign of abating. In November 2022, the Jharkhand Government passed a Bill in the State Assembly making the land records of 1932 as the criteria for verifying domicile in the State for the recruitment policy. Later, in 2016, the Raghubar Das government drafted a recruitment policy that divided 13 districts of the State into ‘scheduled areas’ and 11 districts into ‘non-scheduled categories’. In 2021, Mr. Soren’s recruitment policy, which was made after rejecting the policy helmed by Mr. Das, too was withdrawn upon the direction of the Jharkhand HC following a protracted legal battle.
