Gujarat High Court on Monday pulled up Gujarat Public Service Commission (GPSC) and the State government for working with an understaffed recruitment body according to the Times of India . The court headed by Justice M R Shah asked the authorities to first equip GPSC with enough staff so that the commission could work efficiently to recruit staff for other government departments.

 The court directions came during the hearing of an appeal for the recruitment of teachers in technical institutes across the State. The High Court has asked GPSC to come up with a concrete plan for the recruitment of teachers for engineering, pharmacy and polytechnic colleges, which are run mainly with help of faculty members appointed either on an ad hoc basis or on contract.

According to a recent survey report of the Chandigarh Labour Bureau, Gujarat has the lowest unemployment rate of 1% against the national average of 3.8%.
