Mann urges State’s youths working abroad to return
Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann on Tuesday urged youths of the State working abroad to return to their motherland, assuring them that his Government would provide regular employment opportunities and make them active partners in the state’s socio-economic progress.
He said his Government’s transparent recruitment process for jobs has restored the faith of youth in the system and triggered a reverse migration, with many youngsters now choosing to return to the State from abroad instead of seeking opportunities there.
Mann was addressing a gathering at an event where he handed over appointment letters to 665 newly recruited candidates in Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL).
He said the State has created a record by providing 68,268 Government jobs in just four-and-a-half years, completely ending the era of cash-for-jobs and recommendations.
Mann urged the youths of Punjab working abroad to return to their motherland, assuring them that the State Government would provide regular employment opportunities and make them active partners in the State’s socio-economic progress.
Targeting the previous governments, Mann said that many youngsters left Punjab and have settled abroad. But reverse migration has started in the State now. “Now things have changed. A reflection of this change can be seen from the fact that a woman present here today has three jobs and is among the successful candidates receiving appointment letters.
