Several thousand posts in Andaman and Nicobar Administration are lying vacant for years without recruitment causing hardship for the aspirants who have made it a goal in life to secure a Govt. Job.

After the direction of the Prime Minister, Andaman and Nicobar Administration called for applications from eligible candidates for recruitment for a few hundred Group C and Group B (Non-Gazetted) Posts in various departments.
