ITANAGAR, July 7: In a significant development following sustained demand from the All Arunachal Pradesh Students’ Union (AAPSU), the Government of Arunachal Pradesh has constituted a high-level committee to examine the feasibility of abolishing the existing 80:20 reservation ratio in competitive recruitment and making Permanent Resident Certificate (PRC) and Arunachal Pradesh Scheduled Tribe (APST) Certificate mandatory for all competitive recruitment processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The decision comes after AAPSU, led by its President Meje Taku, submitted a 13-point memorandum to Chief Minister Pema Khandu on June 2, in which recruitment reforms, including the reservation policy and mandatory PRC\/APST requirements, featured among the key demands. More recently, the union served the state government with a seven-day ultimatum, seeking a clear response on the status of its demands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the government order issued on July 6, the committee will be chaired by Industries, Skill Development, Labour & Employment Minister Nyato Dukam and Principal Secretary (PWD\/Home) , Secretary (Law) , Secretary (Personnel) , Secretary (SJETA) as Members, and \u00a0\u00a0and \u00a0Joint Secretary (Administrative Reforms & Training), will serve as Member Secretary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Significantly, the order provides that the AAPSU President, or his representative, will be associated as a Special Invitee during the committee’s hearings, acknowledging the union’s role in raising the issue through its memorandum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
