SENAPATI: In a significant move aimed at improving access to competitive examinations for local aspirants, the Deputy Commissioner of Senapati has formally requested the Regional Director of the Staff Selection Commission (SSC), North Eastern Region, to establish an SSC Examination Centre in Senapati District.
In a communication addressed to the Regional Director, the Deputy Commissioner highlighted the difficulties faced by a large number of students and job aspirants from the district who regularly appear for national and state-level competitive examinations conducted by the SSC. At present, candidates are required to travel long distances to examination centres located outside the district, resulting in considerable financial burden, logistical challenges and safety concerns, particularly for those residing in remote and rural areas.
The letter noted that such challenges often discourage deserving candidates from appearing for examinations and may adversely affect their performance. Emphasizing the need for greater accessibility and inclusiveness, the Deputy Commissioner urged the Commission to consider Senapati as a venue for future SSC examinations.
