Maharashtra Government Forms Committee to Improve MPSC; Tuakarama Mundhe Appointed Secretary

The Maharashtra government has established a committee to enhance the Maharashtra Public Service Commission (MPSC), with Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner Tuakarama Mundhe serving as member-secretary. The panel, chaired by former judge Dilip Bhosele, also includes IPS officer Lakshmi Gautam, former IAS officer Ganesh Patil, and retired judge PD Nayak. The committee's formation comes amidst ongoing protests by applicants in Pune, who have been demonstrating for the past 10 days against the decision to conduct MPSC examinations on computers. The minister has assured protesters that other demands, such as filling 70,000 posts in three years and increasing seats in the Group-C exam in January, will be addressed.
