The training session held in Leh for officials ahead of the upcoming LAHDC–SSRB examination reflects a welcome and overdue seriousness toward restoring confidence in public recruitment. At a time when transparency and fairness in exams are increasingly scrutinised, the detailed briefing by Secretary LAHD SSRB Rehmatullah Butt (JKAS) sets the right tone.
From clearly defined responsibilities of superintendents and invigilators to strict protocols for handling OMR sheets and sensitive materials, the emphasis on accountability is crucial. The insistence that no official should take independent decisions—however minor—underscores the importance of a uniform, standardised process across all centres.
The engagement shown during the question–answer session reveals both interest and awareness among officials, an encouraging sign for an exam process that must remain beyond reproach. The presence of senior officers, including ADDC Leh Sonam Nurboo and HQ to DC Leh Rigzin Yangdol, further strengthens the institutional commitment to integrity.
As the four-phase training continues, the real test will lie in the execution on exam day. A fair recruitment process is not merely an administrative exercise—it is a matter of public trust. Leh’s preparedness shows that the administration understands this responsibility well.
