New Delhi: The Public Enterprises Selection Board (PESB), the head hunter body of the government which is responsible for the selection of personnel in the posts of Chairman, Chairman & Managing Director (CMD) and Functional Directors in the Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs), did not find any suitable candidate for the post of Director (Finance) of Uranium Corporation of India Limited (UCIL). According to a notification issued by the PESB, the selection panel's interview-cum selection meeting was held on Wednesday evening, in which one candidate has appeared.

"The Board did not recommend any candidates for the post and advised to the administrative Ministry/Department to choose an appropriate course of further action for selection including the search cum selection committee (SCSC) or as deemed appropriate with the approval of the competent authority," the PESB panel said in a notification.
