Discussion
Assertion (A) : Government decided to undertake lateral recruitment at the level of Joint Secretary. Director and Deputy Secretary in the Central Government.
Reason (R) : For making appointment of persons for specific assignment keeping in view their specialised knowledge and expertise in the domain area.
Codes :
Answer: A
Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
From 2018 the Government of India advertised posts for lateral entry at the level of Joint Secretary, and later at Director and Deputy Secretary level, with selection made through the UPSC. So the Assertion is a fact.
The stated purpose was to bring in people with specialised knowledge and domain expertise for specific assignments, to supplement the career civil service. That purpose is exactly what the Reason states, so it explains why the decision was taken, which rules out the options that call (R) false or unrelated, and the option that calls (A) false.
