Now, to catch more young guns, the Indian Army\u2019s Service Selection Board (SSB) has set up a centre in Kapurthala.\u00a0 The first batch of 80 aspirants has commenced today at the centre.\u00a0 The centre will cater to the job aspirants of Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Chandigarh and even Jammu and Kashmir. These northern states, according to last year\u2019s figure, constitute over 24 per cent of the total cadets who became officers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Inaugurating the centre today Lt Gen KJ Singh, General Officer Commanding-in-Chief, Western Command said that it was a long pending demand of Punjab to open a selection centre in the state because the aspirants from the northern states had to visit Bhopal, Allahabad and Bengaluru to appear before the Service Selection Board (SSB).\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The inauguration ceremony was attended by various Military and civil dignitaries to include Lt Gen JS Cheema, General Officer Commanding, Vajra Corps, District Collector, Kapurthala, Rajya Sainik Board and various members from media houses.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-60175\" src=\"https:\/\/punjabpost.in\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/PPN0104201620.jpg\" alt=\"PPN0104201620\" width=\"1024\" height=\"331\" srcset=\"https:\/\/punjabpost.in\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/PPN0104201620.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/punjabpost.in\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/PPN0104201620-300x97.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 It may be recalled that the raising of the Selection Centre commenced in July last year with an initial target date of operationalisation as 01 Sep 16. However the team of Officers led by Maj Gen Narinder Pal Singh relentlessly worked towards reducing the time for operationalisation and their efforts cut down the time by clear 120 days. Lt Gen KJ Singh complimented the team for its commitment and dedication to duty, and further said that the early operationalisation would ensure the Centre taking on an additional load of 25 batches and would eventually play a role in reducing the deficiency in the Officers\u2019 cadre of the Armed forces.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 Kapurthala\/Jalandhar, April 1 (Punjab Post Bureau) &#8211;
