Punjab CM Hands Over Job Appointment Letters to 497 Youth, Empowering 50,892 Families in 35 Months
Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann Hands Over Appointment Letters to 497 Youth, Sets Record in Job Creation
Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann has made a significant stride in his mission to provide employment opportunities for the youth of the state. On February 19, the CM handed over appointment letters to 497 young individuals, marking a milestone in his government’s efforts to create jobs. This event also symbolizes the fulfillment of his commitment to “Mission Rozgar,” which has resulted in a staggering 50,892 government jobs being provided to youth in just 35 months since he assumed office.
At the Municipal Bhawan in Chandigarh, the Chief Minister presented the appointment letters to youth joining various government departments, including the Water Supply and Sanitation Department, School Education, Higher Education and Languages, and Rural Development, among others. The jobs are part of the state’s ongoing efforts to boost public service and offer steady, government-backed employment opportunities.
A Historic Achievement: Over 50,000 Jobs Created in 35 Months
The scale of the achievement is unprecedented in the state’s history. CM Bhagwant Mann proudly declared that no other government has provided such a large number of jobs in such a short time. “This is a momentous occasion for Punjab. For the first time, any government has successfully offered over 50,000 jobs to the youth in less than three years,” Mann stated, highlighting the commitment of his administration to job creation.
The CM emphasized that the job appointments were made based solely on merit, with no room for nepotism or corruption. This transparency in the recruitment process has set a new benchmark in public sector hiring. “The jobs given under this initiative are purely based on merit, and not a single appointment has been challenged in any court so far,” Mann affirmed.
Mission Rozgar: A Lifeline for Punjab’s Youth
Under Mission Rozgar, the Punjab government has aimed to create a robust framework for youth employment. Bhagwant Mann asserted that this initiative has transformed the lives of thousands of families, providing them with a stable future and opportunities for growth within government departments.
“The youth joining these departments today are now partners in Punjab’s socio-economic development,” Mann said during the ceremony. “These jobs are more than just employment; they are a stepping stone for contributing to the state’s progress.” He further encouraged the new recruits to serve the people with a sense of purpose and to help improve the lives of underprivileged sections of society.
Opposition’s Selective Blindness and Past Failures
In his address, CM Bhagwant Singh Mann took a dig at the opposition parties, accusing them of suffering from “selective blindness.” He criticized them for failing to acknowledge the job opportunities created under his government. “The opposition never sees the thousands of youth who have secured jobs through our government. In the past, jobs were reserved only for the close relatives of those in power. The common man was completely ignored,” he said, pointing out the stark difference in how his administration has approached job distribution.
The Chief Minister’s remarks come in the wake of continuous criticism from opposition leaders, who have often accused the government of failing to create adequate employment opportunities. In contrast, Mann’s government has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to fulfilling its promises through transparent and merit-based recruitment.
Reverse Migration Trend: Youth Returning to Punjab
One of the most remarkable outcomes of Mission Rozgar has been the trend of reverse migration. According to CM Mann, the jobs created by his government have led to youth who had previously settled abroad deciding to return to Punjab. The CM shared inspiring stories of a couple who returned from Canada to take up government jobs and a young man who chose employment in Punjab over opportunities abroad.
“This is the result of our government’s efforts to offer meaningful jobs within Punjab,” Mann stated. He highlighted that the creation of government jobs has provided the youth with a sense of purpose and has encouraged many to return home, reversing the tide of migration that has plagued the state for years.
A Vision for a Bright Future
CM Bhagwant Singh Mann expressed his belief that the government jobs handed out to the youth will transform their lives and the future of Punjab. “This is not just about jobs; it’s about ensuring that the youth are empowered to contribute positively to society. These appointments will pave the way for their success and, by extension, the success of Punjab,” he said.
The Chief Minister urged the newly appointed individuals to approach their work with dedication and integrity, ensuring that the welfare of the people remains at the heart of their responsibilities.
Conclusion: Mission Rozgar’s Lasting Impact on Punjab’s Youth
With Mission Rozgar, CM Bhagwant Mann has not only addressed the issue of unemployment but has also set the stage for a brighter, more prosperous future for the youth of Punjab. By providing job opportunities based on merit and transparency, the government has instilled a renewed sense of hope and confidence in the state’s youth. As more appointments are made and the trend of reverse migration continues, Punjab is well on its way to becoming a state of self-reliant, empowered individuals.
