Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Wednesday handed over appointment letters for government jobs to 497 youth which brings the total to 50,892 who were given jobs in the last around three years after assuming the charge of office.
Mann handed over letters to youth in the Water supply and Sanitation department, School Education department, Higher Education and Languages, Rural Development and Science, Technology and Environment.
Addressing the gathering at the Municipal Bhawan, the Chief Minister said that it is a momentous occasion when these youth are becoming the part of the family of Punjab government. He expressed hope that these youth will become an active partner in the socio-economic development of the state by joining these respective departments. He said that for the first time in the history of the state, any government has given a record number of 50,892 jobs to the youth in 35 months of coming into power.
Mann said that the state government fills all the posts as soon as they are vacant in the department. He said that a foolproof mechanism has been adopted for the entire recruitment process due to which not even a single appointment out of these nearly 50,000 jobs have been challenged so far in any court.
