Want to be a Sarkari Babu?


Those times were different. If anyone got a govt. job, it called for celebrations. Getting a Govt. Job hinted that his life was made. Certainly so,  until a decade ago. There were no more reasons to worry. But things have changed with the passing years.

Globalization and new job creation in the country have changed the perception of today’s youth. Jobs in the Private Sector are opted by many. When asked Ankush, a final year engineering student about career plans after completion of course, he replied that his preference would be a private job over a government job. He said to survive in the high paced life of today, salaries offered in a public sector job is not sufficient. Many like Ankush had similar views. Many are opting for private jobs. 

Government Jobs in India
Does this hint at losing sheen of Govt jobs in the country? Certainly not. It is can be said that youth of the 21st century India are opting for different profiles in private companies, but it no way hints at losing interest from jobs in government organizations.

There is a huge population in the country, which still wants to get Govt. Jobs. It is a known fact that a job in any government organization means job security. The rising India, youth from low-income background and deprived families certainly prefer to be employed in public sector organizations. For them, a secure job with future savings attracts them.

Its known fact jobs in government organizations are difficult to get because of the limited vacancies and huge competition. Candidates will have to burn the midnight’s oil to get the desirable position. Efforts in getting Govt. jobs are worth for. Besides job security, incentives like accommodation, free transport, holiday travelling etc are offered along with salaries. Even retirement gives huge savings in the form of PF and Pension.

It’s not that govt jobs have lost sheen, just that private jobs are existing happily. So take your pick.
