Govt Job! Crosscheck your OBC certificate

In 1995, I appeared in an interview test for Production Operator in the Guwahati Refinery (IOCL). Fortunately I cleared the written test and was ranked 3rd in the overall successful candidates for the personal interview. Next day was the personal interview and during scrutiny of my documents, the selection committee members told me that my OBC certificate was not in the prescribed format as required for any jobs in Central or PSU Company under Govt. of India. My OBC document was from All Assam Other Backward Classes Association. So they disqualified me as I had applied for the position under OBC quota even though they put me in the General Category list on the notice board.

I got so frustrated that I could not face my father for next few days and immediately got my OBC certificate done in the prescribed format.

Fortunately I got another opportunity a year later and got employed in a NAVARATNA PSU but not in IOCL.

So that was the story of my ignorance and you can say complacency that I got all the documents ready.

But why I am sharing this story is another different story.

During my last visit to Guwahati, one young woman from our village at Patharkandi got selected as Asstt. Sub Inspector (Ministerial) in the CRPF. But she was asked to produce her OBC document in the said prescribed FORM OF CERTIFICATE [TO BE PRODUCED BY OTHER BACKWARD CLASSES APPLYING FOR APPOINTMENT TO POST UNDER THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA.] so that they could appoint her as soon as possible.

She showed me the OBC document issued to her by All Assam Other Backward Classes Association. Before that interview, she was also not aware of this OBC FORMAT which is mandatory for APPLYING / APPOINTMENT TO POST UNDER THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA. I don't know whether she got her OBC certificate from DC office, Karimganj or not. God knows what happened to her dream as I couldn't contact her anymore.

So please dissipate the importance of OBC certificate (in the prescribed format) to our parents and students so that they can get the certificate issued from the concerned authority as soon as possible. It will definitely help them save from undue embarrassment at the last moment.

Here I am not encouraging you to seek opportunity under quota system if you have the talent. But it is up to an individual whether to avail the facility or not.

So be prepare with your documents and you can also get your all important documets cross checked by a senior person who knows about these things.

With best regards,

Pocha

A life devoted to poetry

Courtesy: The Sentinel By Champalal Sinha In the world of present Bishnupriya Manipuri literature, the man who first makes his imprint on our minds and reflects his image in our eyes, and the name that comes first while discussing the literature of the community is poet Brojendra Kumar Sinha. His fault-finders will, however, have a different view. His is a life totally devoted to poetry, and this is his first identity. It’s poet Brojendra Kumar Sinha who first introduced structural aspect, subject matter, mode of expression, appeal, soul (core), rhetoric and the like in a conscious way in Bishnupriya Manipuri literature in order to put it on a par with developed literatures in the world. And he has been successful in his relentless efforts towards that end. His poems have been translated and published in English, Bengali, Assamese, Nepali, Kokborok, Manipuri, Urdu and other languages, and received with applause. Talking straight, he is the architect of modern Bishnupriya Manipuri poe...

The 'Star' Krishankant Sinha of Space City Sigma

By RK Rishikesh Sinha, New Delhi It is a myth that the all-knowing Internet knows everything. One such myth relates to old television stuff aired on Doordarshan before 1990. Search in Google “Space City Sigma”, the search engine would throw up reminiscent results from the people who still long for those days. Those days were really golden days. Krishankant Sinha in the role of Captain Tara in Space City Singma For those who have watched Doordarshan some 15 to 20 years back, am sure they will have nostalgic memories of it. The days when possessing a now ubiquitous looking television set was a luxury. It was a neighbour’s envy product. It was a visual product to showoff, to flaunt that we have a television set . Those were the days when black and white, locked television was rarely found in homes. The days became immortal for teleserials like Ramayana, Mahabharata, Swami’s Malgudi Days (Ta-Na-Na-Na…), Ek-Do-Teen-Char (Title song: Ek do teen char, chaaro mil ke saath chale to ...
