The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Government is continuing its mission of providing government jobs to Punjab’s youth, with CM Bhagwant Singh Mann handing over 866 more appointment letters handed over in Mohali on Saturday, taking the total number of government jobs provided in just four-and-a-half years to 69,094. The Chief Minister said the transparent recruitment process had replaced the old system where cash and recommendations were considered essential for securing a government job.
The Chief Minister pointed out that the growing confidence of the youth in the system and the declining trend of migration abroad reflected the impact of providing opportunities on the basis of merit. Highlighting Punjab’s progress in education, he said the State had surpassed Kerala to rank first in the country, with 882 government school students clearing NEET (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test) serving as proof of the transformation.
