Uttarakhand Government Introduces Opportunity for Deceased Dependents in Government Job Recruitment

The Uttarakhand government has paved the way for deceased dependents to participate in state government job recruitment. Amending the rules for dependents of deceased government servants, the Himalayan state now allows them to apply for Group D or Group C posts, such as the position of Junior Assistant or its equivalent.

The amendment, titled the “Uttarakhand (Uttar Pradesh Recruitment of Dependents of Government Servants Dying in Harness Rules, 1974) (Amendment) Rules, 2023,” came into immediate effect, providing an opportunity for recruitment within five years of the government servant’s demise, subject to educational qualifications and other qualifications for government service. The move aims to offer employment opportunities and support to the dependents of deceased public servants.
