The Centre is going to make a first-of-its-kind-move by engaging retired central government employees and pensioners as supervisors for different recruitment examinations.

Retired government servants will now be appointed as Inspecting Officers and members of the Flying Squad for supervising various competitive examinations conducted by SSC.
