In what is being termed as a Rakhi (Raksha Bandhan) bonanza to the women, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Wednesday handed over appointment letters to 5714 Anganwadi workers in the Social Security, Women and Child Development Department of the state.
Addressing the gathering in a state-level function organized at the Guru Nanak Dev University campus, the Chief Minister said that to channelize the energy of the youth of the state, the Punjab government has given jobs to more than 35,000 youth. He said that the entire recruitment process has been carried in a transparent manner and jobs have been given to youth completely on merit.
Mann said that the record number of jobs given to youth has empowered them by making them partners in the socio-economic development of the state. He said that the role of Anganwadi workers is vital as they play a crucial role in grooming and overall development of children at a tender age.
Striking a personal chord with the Anganwadi workers on the occasion of Rakhri festival, he said that it is a matter of immense pride and satisfaction that now daughters are outshining the boys in every field and parents are proud to raise a daughter. Mann said that girls have proved their mettle in every sphere of life and all of us should encourage them to follow their dreams for the betterment of society and the country.
On the occasion, an Anganwadi worker also tied rakhi to the Chief Minister on the stage.
