The Confederation of Meghalaya Social Organisations has petitioned the Meghalaya Rural Bank and state government, urging clarity and corrective action over the low Scheduled Tribe representation in recent officer‑level hires.

The Confederation of Meghalaya Social Organisations (CoMSO) has formally petitioned the Meghalaya Rural Bank (MRB) and the state government, requesting full disclosure of recruitment procedures and outcomes.

CoMSO’s statement points to data from recent MRB hiring cycles that reveal a shortfall in Scheduled Tribe (ST) candidates, particularly for officer‑level positions, raising concerns about equitable representation.

Why This Matters

Adequate ST representation in bank officer roles is essential for upholding India’s reservation policies and maintaining public confidence in financial institutions. Addressing the disparity can prevent legal challenges, promote inclusive employment, and reinforce the bank’s commitment to serving the state’s tribal communities.
