The ministry of public
administration has proposed to increase the maximum age limit to enter
government jobs by 21 months from current limit of 30 years due to prolonged
academic life caused by Covid-19 restrictions, reports UNB.
The proposal has been sent
to the prime minister, State Minister for Public Administration Farhad Hossain
told reporters at the Secretariat on Thursday.
He said, “We have taken
several initiatives for people of different classes and professions to make up
for the loss caused by corona. A new proposal for government job seekers has
been sent to the prime minister. “
“We did the same last year.
We relaxed the age limit allowing candidates who turned 30 after March 25 to apply
for government jobs.”
Farhad also said those who
turned 30 on March 25 last year (2020) will also get the benefit.
He said they will get age
exemption up to 21 months. It's a big deal. If the Prime Minister approves, we
will issue a notification in this regard.”
At present the age limit
for entry into government service is 30 years, which is 32 years for the
children of freedom fighters.
The government increased
the age limit by five months in the first phase of the Covid-19 pandemic last
year.
Asked what the government's
next strategy would be if the corona infection situation deteriorates further,
Farhad,” We will consider both strategies. We may impose a lockdown if needed
but also brainstorm about how to restrict transmission without enforcing strict
restrictions considering the economy and livelihood.”
