KOHIMA: The State cabinet gave its formal approval to establishment of Staff Selection Board (SSB) during a meeting held at the civil secretariat here on Friday. This comes after chief minister Neiphiu Rio gave an assurance to Naga Students’ Federation on June 15 of setting up the board within a month.
Naga Students’ Federation has expressed joy at the State cabinet finally approving setting up of Staff Selection Board (NSSB) and thus realising the long-cherished dream of thousands of aspiring youth to have equal job opportunities with merit becoming the norm for selection.
The student body has been demanding the setting up of SSB to curb rampant backdoor appointments which deprived the hardworking youth from facing proper selection process and to “encourage and promote the competitive mindset of our youth at all levels”.
