New Delhi (NVI): The central government today warned public in general and AYUSH professionals in particular against fake job vacancies under the ministry posted online.
AYUSH Ministry in a statement said, “In recent past, some fraudulent/suspicious advertisements for recruitment of AYUSH professionals have come up in the electronic media which seek to draw out payment in the form of “Registration Fees” etc. from gullible individuals.”
“Such fraudulent/suspicious notices are issued typically by agencies with misleading names that sound like government bodies, and seek to elicit payments (described as “fees” of various types) through online payment methods,” the ministry added.
One such fake advertisement that has come to the notice of AYUSH appeared on the blog-publishing platform “Blogspot” in the name of ‘AYUSHGRAM BHARAT’, which claims to be the ‘NRHM WELLNESS CENTER INDIA’.
The AYUSH ministry said that it will seek appropriate administrative and legal action in the matter. The recruitment process followed by the Ministry of AYUSH and its subordinate organisations always follow the formal procedures prescribed by the Government of India (GoI) and are accompanied by formal announcements in the official websites (which are hosted on the NIC/gov.in platform) of the respective organisations.
The ministry has issued a notice of caution to AYUSH professionals on “recruitment fraud”. It also advised the public, in general, to cross-check the facts stated in such advertisements and verify the identity or authenticity of individuals or recruitment agencies who issue such advertisements, before responding to them.
The Ministry of AYUSH has no connection whatsoever to the aforesaid recruitment announcement by individuals or recruitment agencies who are misguiding job-seekers by promising them government positions, the government said today.
The fake recruitment sites are also seen to be unauthorisedly using logo/images of the government as well as fake address similar to that of the Ministry to mislead people.
“The public in general and AYUSH professionals, in particular, are hereby advised to kindly cross-check the facts stated in such advertisements and verify the identity/ authenticity of individuals/recruitment agencies who issue such advertisements, before responding to them,” the Ministry added.
