During this, more than 25 thousand youth have been provided permanent employment in government services through Public Service Commission, Uttarakhand Subordinate Services Selection Commission, Medical Services Selection Commission. The recruitment process of many departments is still going on at the level of Uttarakhand Public Service Commission, Subordinate Services Selection Board. In some cases, the final selection recommendation is going to be made soon, due to which this figure of total permanent jobs is going to increase further.
