It sounds weird, however true. The Indian Post may have unearthed an entire lot of expertise! When the divisional heads bought their arms on the paperwork of candidates who utilized for Grameen Dak Sevak (GDS) jobs, they have been left scratching their heads in amazement. Out of 1,380 shortlisted candidates, 5 of them had secured an ideal 100%, with 4 others carefully following above 99%.
This may simply be the tip of the iceberg as to how candidates had manufactured mark sheets to put their arms on job, collection of which was based mostly on highest marks secured.
While Gujarat had one candidate having secured 100% in Class X examination, 31 Jharkhand candidates had scored excellent 100% marks. As far as Bihar is anxious, one would lose depend as the variety of candidates having secured 100% mark in Class X examination crosses greater than 100. In Uttar Pradesh, the variety of shortlisted candidates with 100% marks in Class X examination is way larger. Invariably, each State has some shortlisted candidates who’ve scored excellent 100% of their examinations.
There have been three posts underneath GDS — Branch Post Master (BPM), Assistant Branch Post Master (ABPM) and Dak Sevak. While first wage drawn by BPM and ABPM is about ₹16,000 and Dak Sevak would draw ₹13,000 to ₹14,000. These workers are usually not regulars of Indian Post. Their retirement age is 65 and they’d function in villages.
“As we were asked to verify mark sheets uploaded by candidates themselves, I found something amiss seeing the marks. Many shortlisted candidates had secured 99% marks. There were candidates who had secured 99% in English. As I grew in suspicion, I just called some candidates and asked them to write some words in English. They miserably failed to write those,” stated Rajendra Kumar Patnaik, Superintendent of the Balangir Postal Division.
The Balangir Postal Division controls Balangir and Sonepur districts. As many as 37 candidates within the division who had utilized for posts had generated certificates from one ‘Dr. B. R Ambedkar Intermediate College, Jhansi’. Those candidates who have been known as to the Balangir division workplace for verification admitted to have faked their certificates.
“We immediately filed a complaint with Balangir police and sent the certificates for verification to the concerned college,” stated Mr. Patnaik. Similar police complaints have been reported to have been filed in Ganjam and Kendrapara districts. When the difficulty got here to the sunshine, candidates, who had secured 100% or 99% had fled from their villages.
