Editor,
The protest by the Khasi Students’ Union over the reluctant attitude of the Meghalaya Public Service Commission (MPSC) and to demand for rectifying the various examination anomalies deserves applause.
As rightly stated, when the UPSC can make public the score-sheet of candidates and hold in-camera interviews, what makes the MPSC exceptional and for whose joy?
It has been well known that political appointees are given charge of DSC and MPSC which is why the deserving candidates do not get through and the result you get is a henpeck bureaucracy with zero understanding of what grassroot governance is all about.
A state progresses when it churns out productive people in the government and not mere rubber stamps. Period.
