Why has there been no fresh recruitment in MEA's interpreter cadre for a decade
No fresh recruitment in MEA's interpreter cadre for a decade has raised concerns.
- Low turnover rate: The current interpreters haven't retired or left, leading to a lack of vacancies for fresh recruitment.
- Budget constraints: The Ministry of External Affairs may be facing budget limitations, making it difficult to justify additional interpreter positions.
- Preference for experienced interpreters: The ministry may prioritize retaining and promoting current staff members with experience over hiring new recruits.
- Training requirements: Training new interpreters require time and resources which the ministry may not be able to allocate at the moment.
- Shift towards technology: Utilization of translation technology may have reduced the immediate need for expanding the interpreter cadre.
