BDCC bank waiting for govt. sanction for recruitment, says MLA

The Belagavi district central cooperative bank is waiting for the State government approval to fill vacancies of officers and staff, Balachandra Jarkiholi, MLA, said in Belagavi on Monday.

He hoped that the government would approve of the bank’s recruitment proposals in the next few months and the recruitment drive would be completed before December. He was speaking at the 105th annual general body meeting of the bank.

“We had begun the process for filling 134 vacant posts earlier, but the government cancelled it due to certain irregularities in the reservation roaster and other technicalities. Over 21,000 candidates had applied for these posts. We will rectify any error regarding reservation norms from the previous process and seek fresh applications,” he said.
