After over seven months of scrapping the Himachal Pradesh Staff Selection Commission (HPSSC), Hamirpur, after uncovering a paper leak racket, the state government has notified Himachal Pradesh Rajya Chayan Aayog (HPRCA) for recruitment to Group C posts. The notification was issued late on Saturday.
The state government has appointed RK Pruthi as the chief administrator.
The composition of the commission, chairperson, members, staff, budget and financial powers will be notified separately. Its headquarters will remain at Hamirpur and will function under the administrative control of the personnel department.
In a meeting on September 14, the Cabinet had given approval for the new recruitment body after recommendations of the Sanan committee.
The state government had suspended HPSSC in December, 2022, after a paper leak racket in over two dozen exams was unearthed by a special investigation team of vigilance bureau. The recruitment body was dissolved in February.
