Ladakh sets national benchmark with time-bound, transparent recruitment: L-G Kavinder Gupta

Lieutenant Governor of Ladakh Kavinder Gupta on Monday highlighted the time-bound and transparent recruitment process conducted by the Union Territory administration through the Ladakh Subordinate Services Staff Selection Board (LSSSSB). He said the declaration of examination marks within 48 hours reflected administrative efficiency and strong institutional systems.

He said the achievement sets a national benchmark and reflects that even remote and border regions like Ladakh can effectively adopt best-in-class administrative practices through strong institutional systems and clear intent.

The Lt Governor handed over selection letters to provisionally selected candidates who appeared in the recent matriculation level exams conducted by the LSSSSB at the District Panchayat Resource Centre in Leh. He also launched the online Ladakh Domicile Certificate Portal, a significant milestone in advancing digital governance and youth empowerment in the Union Territory.

In his address, Kavinder Gupta said that government service is a responsibility towards the people and not merely an employment opportunity, and asked the newly selected candidates to uphold the highest standards of integrity, discipline and professionalism. He emphasised the importance of a citizen-first approach in public service and expressed confidence that the new appointees would contribute meaningfully to good governance, administrative efficiency and nation building in Ladakh, said a press release.

Referring to the launch of the online Ladakh Domicile Certificate Portal (https://domicile.ladakh.gov.in), he said the initiative will simplify procedures, reduce delays and eliminate unnecessary visits to government offices.

Calling upon the youth to play a pivotal role in achieving the national goal of a Viksit Bharat by 2047 under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Lt Governor said that young people are the greatest strength of the nation.
