Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Thursday said that joining for approximately 7,500 Group-D posts will be provided soon. He was addressing a press conference in Chandigarh after presiding over a meeting of the state Cabinet.     When asked about the Common Eligibility Test (CET), he said that this time, 13.48 lakh youth have registered for the CET, compared to about 11 lakh registrations last year. He said that there were some issues due to heavy load on the SARAL portal; however, over 3 lakh youth from the BC-A and BC-B categories, as well as around 3 lakh Scheduled Caste youth, successfully downloaded their caste certificates and registered for the exam. He further said that youth who were unable to download their caste certificates will still be allowed to appear in the exam, and the remaining formalities will be completed concurrently. In response to a question, Saini said that the departments have been instructed to rationalize posts based on current requirements and send the requisition letters to the Haryana Staff Selection Commission (HSSC). He said that some existing posts are no longer necessary, while new posts are being created to meet present-day needs. He emphasized that this is a continuous and ongoing process.  When asked about the ongoing strike by students of Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar, the Chief Minister said, "They are all our children, and this is the time for them to focus on their studies. They should not be misled by political parties." He urged political parties to refrain from instigating students, emphasizing that while it is commendable for youth to take an interest in politics, their current priority should be education. "I wish them a bright future. The students should complete their studies and make their parents, their region, and the state proud," he added.
