JAMMU: Nations Development Association (NDA), Chief Functionary Sushil Singh Charak has made a strong representation to Hon’ble Chief Minister Janab Omar Abdullah, highlighting the issue of the mandatory Urdu language requirement in the Naib Tehsildar recruitment exam, which is causing distress among aspirants from the Jammu Division.
Charak pointed out that the majority of youth from Jammu do not study Urdu, rendering them ineligible under the current recruitment criteria. He criticized the policy as exclusionary and called for recruitment exams to be conducted in multiple regional languages to ensure broader participation.
He cited The Jammu and Kashmir Official Languages Act, 2020 (Act No. 23 of 2020), passed by Parliament, which recognizes Urdu, Hindi, Dogri, Kashmiri, and English as official languages of the Union Territory. Restricting exams to Urdu alone, he stated, goes against the inclusive intent of the Act.
Charak appealed to the Chief Minister to uphold the principles of fairness and inclusivity by revising the language criteria and eliminating regional bias in recruitment processes, thereby ensuring equal opportunity for all youth across Jammu and Kashmir.
