The Ministry of Rural Development (MoRD) has issued an statement regarding fraudulent recruitment advertisements circulated by an entity called the National Rural Development & Recreation Mission (NRDRM). This organization, which falsely claims affiliation with the Ministry, has been targeting job seekers with deceptive offers.
The Ministry clarified that it has no association with NRDRM and stressed that its recruitment processes are free of charge, with no fees required for applying to any job positions.
The MoRD further highlighted that all authentic recruitment notices and job openings are published exclusively on the official Ministry website, rural.gov.in. Any job offers claiming to be from MoRD that are not listed there should be considered fraudulent.
In light of these deceptive practices, the Ministry has urged the public to remain vigilant and avoid sharing sensitive personal information, such as bank details, with any unverified recruitment sources.
The Ministry also advised people to carefully scrutinize any job advertisements that appear suspicious. Fraudulent entities often use official-sounding names and website links to gain the trust of potential candidates. To combat these fraudulent activities, the MoRD is encouraging citizens to report any suspicious job offers to relevant authorities for investigation.
The Ministry's notice highlights the growing issue of online recruitment scams, which have become increasingly prevalent in recent years. Scammers often prey on job seekers who are desperate for employment, and the MoRD's notice serves as a crucial reminder for individuals to remain cautious when engaging with recruitment advertisements online.
To avoid falling victim to such schemes, it is critical to verify job listings and recruitment details directly through official government channels.
