Amid a lot of criticism for its ‘failure’ to address issues like unemployment, the State Government is going to open as many as 37,000 vacancies in the State soon.
“More so, keeping in view its past experiences, the State Government would not hire manpower on ad hoc or temporary basis. Rather, we would go for regular appointments,” said Chief Minister Vijay Bahuguna, during his Kumaon visit here on Wednesday. “Besides, our special emphasis would remain on taking care of the weaker sections of the society. Only then we can achieve all round development in the State,” maintained the Chief Minister, dedicating the Gola river bridge to the public here on Wednesday.
On the one hand Chief Minister Bahuguna announced creation of 37,000 jobs in the State, on other he could not hide his concern over poor financial health of the State. “We have limited resources. The matter of concern is that out of our annual Budget of Rs 25,000 crore we have to spend Rs 16,000 crore on salaries and pensions. Therefore, we have to understand how can we move ahead taking care of all sections of the society,” Bahuguna maintained.
In the meanwhile, the Chief Minister did not forget to give a lesson or two on how to deal with the public to the officials of different Government departments. The officials concerned must understand the concerns of the public and try to address their grievances on priority basis. The people need not to be disappointed. The State Government is committed to reach out to every sections of the society, added the Chief Minister.
Among others, State Cabinet Minister and MlA from lalkuan Harish Chandra Durgapal, State Cabinet Minister and State Congress president Yashpal Arya and State Cabinet Minister and MlA from Haldwnai Indira Hridayesh were also present on this occasion.
