The Kerala Public Service Commission (Additional Functions as respects the services under the Kerala State Biodiversity Board) Act, 2026

Environmental20264 sections

This Act mandates that the Kerala Public Service Commission (PSC) assumes responsibility for the recruitment process of the Kerala State Biodiversity Board. By requiring the Board to consult the PSC on recruitment methods and candidate suitability, the legislation ensures that hiring for the Board follows the same merit-based, standardized procedures as other state government services. The Act empowers the PSC to prepare select lists for direct recruitment, thereby removing the Board's autonomy in hiring. If the Board and the PSC disagree on recruitment matters, the State Government serves as the final decision-making authority, ensuring administrative accountability and consistency.
