Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar today administered the oath of office to Bhopal Singh as the new Chairman of the Haryana State Selection Commission (HSSC) at a swearing-in ceremony here.

Education Minister Kanwar Pal Gujjar was also present.

Bhopal Singh took the pledge to uphold the commission’s dignity and ensure transparent and merit-based selections. “The new Chairman and Members of the commission are expected to carry out the recruitment process by making a suitable schedule in an appropriate manner and as per the requisition sent by the government. Besides, the new Chairman is also expected to uphold the dignity of the commission by following a merit-based and transparent recruitment process,” said the Chief Minister while interacting with mediapersons after the ceremony. He said the One Time Registration Portal for the group C and D category posts had been launched. The youth would be required to apply and submit fees on the portal only once. He added that the state government had already announced that the HSSC would conduct a Common Eligibility Test (CET) to fill different posts of group C and D categories. All these steps taken by the government would not only bring about more transparency but also speed up the recruitment process.

Later, Bhopal Singh, in the presence of the Education Minister, also administered the oath of office to Vijay Kumar, Satywan Shera, Vikas Dahiya and Sachin Jain as the new Members of the commission.
