All Public Service Commissions need to uphold constitutional value: Telangana Guv

Hyderabad, June 13 (UNI) Telangana Governor Jishnu Dev Varma on Friday emphasised the need for all Public Service Commissions to uphold constitutional values, and to remain steadfast in their responsibility to select the most meritorious candidates for public service.
In his valedictory address at the two-day National Workshop on Legal Issues and Mitigation at Public Service Commissions (PSCs) organized by the Telangana Public Service Commission (TGPSC) in collaboration with NALSAR University of Law, was concluded at the NALSAR Campus, Shamirpet, here, Dev Varma lauded TGPSC for taking the initiative to convene such an important and timely dialogue among the Chairpersons of State PSCs.
He highlighted the importance of empathy and human-centric governance while implementing strategic mitigation measures, thereby ensuring justice, fairness, and efficiency in recruitment processes.
The second day of the workshop featured engaging and thought-provoking panel discussions on the following key themes -- Stakeholders in Stakeholders in Litigation and Mitigation Strategies; Best Practices and Future Directions; Role of Technology in Handling legal Issues.
The sessions were enriched by the presence of eminent panelists, including: Shivashankarappa S. Sahukar, Chairperson, Karnataka PSC; Santosh Gopal Ajmera, Joint Secretary, UPSC; Mr. Surya Prakash B. S., Fellow and Programme Director, DAKSH, Bangalore; Dr. Udaysinh S. Raorane, Chairperson, Goa PSC; Mr. Vishwam Jindal, CEO, Webnyay; Hon’ble Dr. Justice Devaraju Nagarjun, Chairperson, Telangana Electricity Regulatory Commission; Hasmukh Patel, Chairperson, Gujarat PSC.
During the discussions, TGPSC Chairman stressed the importance of creating a centralized digital repository of case laws and judgments relevant to PSCs.
This repository, accessible to all State PSCs, would allow subject-wise referencing of legal precedents, aiding in better understanding and management of litigation.
He also proposed launching a dedicated legal journal for PSCs, to regularly publish and circulate significant judgments and legal updates across the Commissions.
Other prominent themes discussed included the integration of technology in legal workflows, capacity building through AI and block chain, mechanisms for quick grievance redressal, and the influence of social media on litigation.
Chairpersons shared institutional best practices, collaborated on common challenges, and collectively evolved "Ten Commandments for Mitigation of Court Cases" — a strategic framework to guide future legal practices at PSCs.
