PATNA: In yet another first in the country, the Bihar prisons department has decided to utilize the experience of ex-servicemen by recruiting them as assistant jailers in different jails of the state.
One-third of the total 938 vacant posts of assistant jailers in the state would be filled by ex-servicemen, IG prisons, Anand Kishore,
"We have decided to recruit around 284 ex-servicemen against the total 938 vacancies of assistant jailers in Bihar to beef up security inside jails. The remaining vacancies would be filled by candidates from the general and reserved categories, as per the rules, as well as by promotions," he said.
Kishore, however, clarified that only those ex-servicemen would be eligible for the said posts who have served in the army, navy or air force and were getting regular pension after retirement.
Deputy director, prisons-industries, BCP Singh, said an advertisement in this regard would be published soon. "The proposal does not include those ex-servicemen who belong to the defence security core, general reserve engineering force, paramilitary or auxiliary force," he clarified.
The maximum age limit for ex-servicemen aspiring for the job would be 50 years. But they must be 100% physically and mentally fit with sharp hearing capability, Singh said, adding that perfect health condition would be the benchmark for the selection.
According to Singh, IG prisons would screen all the applications before the recruitment. In some cases, he might even call for a written test which would not be mandatory for all ex-servicemen. The test papers would comprise mathematics, Hindi and GK, he said.
Their salary and promotion would be governed by the rules and norms of the state government. However, their appointments would be made under the provisions of the Re-employment Rules, 1979, he added.
