Punjab government on Thursday continued its spree to provide government jobs to youth by completing the process of handing over recruitment letters to 36,796 youth in various departments.
Addressing the gathering after handing over job letters to 272 newly inducted cooperative inspectors, Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann said that all the 36,796 recruitments have been made completely on merit. He said that the recruitments have been given after adopting a completely transparent process and the youths have come to a job after clearing the exams in cutthroat competition. He said that the sole agenda of his government from day one has been to empower the youth by giving government jobs to them.
The CM said that the state government is opening eight hi-tech centres for imparting training to the students for competitive exams. These centres will provide quality training to youth to clear the UPSC exams and sit for coveted positions in state and country. He said that the target of the state government is to ensure that youth sit in high offices and serve the country.
Congratulating the newly inducted officers and their families, the Chief Minister expressed hope that they will discharge their duty with honesty, diligence and dedication. He said that these days have been made special as the earlier governments never bothered to give jobs to the youth. Mann said that his government has made sure that only the eligible, deserving and bright students are selected on the basis of their merit.
Likewise, he said that due to concerted efforts of the state government Punjab has emerged as the most preferred investment destination in the country, pointing out that Punjab has so far attracted Investment worth Rs 50871 crore which will create 2.89 lakh jobs for youngsters. He said that more investments will be roped in during the coming days to give boost to economic activity in the state.
