Panaji (PTI): Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant has said one-year work experience would be made "compulsory" for recruitment in state government departments.

Such a practice would help the government get skilled manpower, Sawant said addressing a function at Taleigao village in North Goa district on Tuesday.

He also said that recruitment through the Staff Selection Commission would be made compulsory in the future.

The CM said one-year work experience would be made mandatory for those looking for government jobs in the future.

Fresh candidates would not be taken directly into government service. Aspirants would have to get experience by working in the private sector before applying for government jobs, he said.

Necessary amendments would be made in Recruitment Rules to ensure only suitable candidates are selected for vacant posts, he added.

New Delhi: The Supreme Court, on September 20, took suo motu cognizance of video clips containing controversial remarks made by Justice Vedavyasachar Srishananda of the Karnataka High Court. A five-judge bench, led by Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud and comprising Justices Sanjiv Khanna, BR Gavai, Surya Kant, and Hrishikesh Roy, has ordered a report from the Karnataka High Court.

The decision follows two videos that surfaced on social media, showing Justice Srishananda referring to an area in Bengaluru as "Pakistan" and making objectionable comments toward a woman advocate during hearings. The Court directed the Registrar General of the Karnataka High Court to submit a report after consulting the Chief Justice of the Karnataka High Court. The matter will be further examined on Monday.
