Rajasthan clears 235 government jobs for medal-winning athletes
The Story in Brief
Rajasthan has approved out-of-turn government jobs for 235 medal-winning athletes out of 286 applications received. The appointments cover multiple departments: 9 athletes will become Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP), 2 will join the forest department and police as patrol officer Grade-2 and sub-inspector, and 224 will take posts of constable, excise constable, excise guard, or deputy jailer. The list includes 73 para-athletes.
The approvals were granted at a meeting chaired by Chief Secretary V Srinivas, who also directed officials to speed up verification of eligibility certificates and resolve pending transfer issues. The state government says it has already given out-of-turn appointments to 187 medal-winning athletes since December 2023. Officials from the sports, forest, home, and social justice departments attended the meeting.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The approval covers 235 of 286 applicants, meaning 51 remain pending even before today’s batch is processed. The inclusion of 73 para-athletes signals a widening pipeline, but the specifics of their postings and whether all 224 in Category-C are truly placed are not spelled out. Chief Secretary Srinivas ordered priority verification of certificates and resolution of transfer hurdles, which suggests past delays in the same process. The outcome gives no timeline for the official appointment letters or for the 51 still waiting, leaving the key deadline unnamed.
