Almora and Srinagar (Garhwal) to be new exam centres of UPSC in U’khand
The higher education and health minister of Uttarakhand Dhan Singh Rawat has expressed happiness at the decision of the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) to open new examination centres at Srinagar Garhwal and Almora.
Rawat said that till now Dehradun was the only place in Uttarakhand where various examinations of UPSC were held. He said that many applicants residing in Garhwal and Kumaon regions of the state couldn’t go to places like Dehradun and Delhi due to adverse geographical conditions and poor economic condition of their parents. He said a large number of youngsters especially those belonging to the mountainous areas of the state would be benefitted by the decision of UPSC to open new examination centres in Almora and Srinagar.
The minister thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi, home minister Amit Shah and Chairman of UPSC, Pradeep Kumar Joshi for approving the setting up of new centres in Uttarakhand.
