Srinagar, October 30: Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha Today said that exams conducted by the Jammu and Kashmir Service Selection Board that were cancelled by the government and will be now held afresh in the month of November and selection will purely be based on merit. 

He said gone are the days, when jobs were sold on roads and streets. “Now only merit will speak,” the LG Sinha said, adding that in the past three years, 30,000 youth got jobs.

He said, there is no denying the fact that every one can’t get a government job and that’s why the administration started self-employment schemes.

In the past three years, over 5 lakh youth were provided a chance of self-employment,” he said.
