There are a number of posts lying vacant in various government departments. The higher education system is unable to keep up with the number of aspirants. The quality of teaching is also failing. From low-level jobs to high-end jobs there is a need for people and there are fundamental flaws in the way the recruitment is done. Thereby promotions are hard to come by. Some employees are in same post even after serving for more that 18 years on same post or lower post. There is a dire need for skilled professionals. Government servants have been retiring in large numbers. All government departments are important but some of them are very important. Manpower shortage in any department does affect its working. When the work of a department suffers, people finally suffer. The posts should be filled up for smooth functioning of the departments. Their problems rather than getting solved get aggravated. When the government department has adequate manpower, it is able to work as per the expectations of people. The posts must be filled up at the earliest so that required manpower is made available to the department.
