Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann Distributes 7,660 Appointment Letters to Youth in 3 Weeks of Sept
Focused Efforts to Empower Youth with Opportunities Across Various Departments
CHANDIGARH: Punjab Chief Minister, Bhagwant Singh Mann, marked a significant milestone as he handed over appointment letters to 427 newly recruited candidates from various departments at the Municipal Bhavan in Chandigarh. Expressing his congratulations to the freshly appointed youth, CM Mann emphasized that providing appointment letters was a duty, not a favor from the government.
In a proactive move, the Chief Minister revealed that the state had issued a total of 7,660 appointment letters within the first three weeks of September alone. The distribution included 5,714 letters for Anganwadi workers, 710 for Patwaris, 560 for sub-inspectors in Jalandhar, and 249 for candidates from various departments across Punjab. The relentless efforts of the government have resulted in a cumulative creation of 36,524 jobs over the span of one and a half years, a feat achieved without necessitating legal battles or recommendations.
Highlighting a transformative shift in governance, CM Mann stated that in the past, job opportunities were often hindered due to delayed signatures from the Chief Minister. Presently, he personally signs 100 to 150 files daily to ensure a seamless flow of the recruitment process, understanding that any delay could affect numerous lives. The Chief Minister reiterated his commitment to fulfill his vision of propelling Punjab to the forefront, describing it as a dream that keeps him driven.
Drawing a metaphor, CM Mann likened governments to runways and youth to airplanes, emphasizing that previous opportunities were monopolized by a select few. He took pride in declaring that the current administration had opened these runways for all Punjabis, moving away from nepotism and favoritism.
Taking a jab at the previous Congress-led government, CM Mann revealed that his administration was actively addressing the financial challenges left behind. They have already repaid the first installment of a substantial debt inherited from past regimes, displaying fiscal responsibility and commitment to financial stability.
In conclusion, the Chief Minister stressed that his tenure would not be defined by failure, citing his team's dedication and contrasting it with the past. He highlighted the need for change and a break from the previous cycle of governance, firmly asserting the direction his administration was committed to.
During the appointment letter distribution event, notable attendees included Cabinet Ministers Harbhajan Singh ETO, Harjot Singh Bains, Lal Chand Kataruchakk, and several senior officials.
