Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann on Thursday handed over job letters to 2487 youth in the biggest ever such function thereby ensuring government jobs to around 43000 youth in nearly the last two years.

Mann said that his government had assumed the charge of office on March 16, 2022 and since then a spree has been started to give government jobs to the youth. He said that though earlier the jobs were given through corruption or nepotism but now they are given completely on the basis of merit.
The CM said that this has helped in shunning the negativity in minds of youth due to which they have now shelved the idea of going abroad and the process of reverse migration has started in Punjab. He said that if in two years around 43000 jobs can be given then the question arises why it was not done in the last 75 years for the well being of the youth.
Mann said that he is on the campaign to rectify the system and make sure that youth become an active partner in the growth of the state.
The Chief Minister said that the state government fills all the posts as soon as they are vacant in the department. He said that a foolproof mechanism has been adopted for the entire recruitment process due to which not even a single appointment out of these nearly 43,000 have been challenged so far in any court.He said that it is a proud moment for the government of Punjab that these youth have been given government jobs completely on the basis of merit.
The Chief Minister exhorted the new recruits to judiciously use their post for the welfare of the people and securing justice for them rather than harassing them. He said that the state government is committed to ensuring the well being of the people for which stupendous efforts are being made.
Reiterating the firm commitment of his government to ensure welfare of the state, Bhagwant Singh Mann no stone will be left unturned for this noble cause.
The Chief Minister said that to provide a platform to the youth for better study, the state government is providing the books required for the competition in all the libraries being built across the state. He said that the move is aimed at equipping the youth with knowledge and power to appear in the competitive exams and excel in them.
Mann said that this is the need of the hour so that youth can sit on coveted posts and serve the country diligently.
The Chief Minister urged the youth not to feel proud of their victory but to stay humble and work hard for more success. He said that confidence and a positive approach should be basic traits of everyone’s personality but there should be no pride in it. Bhagwant Singh Mann said that this is the key to success for scripting the success in every field adding that this should be implemented in right earnest.
The Chief Minister said that Punjab is a blessed land as every second village of the state has footprints of great Gurus and the state has produced valiant sons who had laid their lives for the country.
He said that Punjabis are born entrepreneurs and leaders due to which they have proved their mettle across the globe. Bhagwant Singh Mann said that the hard work and resilience of the Punjabis is unmatched owing to which they excel in every sphere.
The Chief Minister said that this spirit of Punjabis can be duly used for taking the state ahead adding that the state government is fully committed to it. He said that it is a matter of great pride and satisfaction that girls are outnumbering the boys in every field and even today the majority of jobs have been bagged by the girls.
Bhagwant Singh Mann said that this is the need of hour to give wings to the girls for excelling in each and every field thereby enabling them to script new success stories.
The Chief Minister said that the state government is making concerted efforts for women empowerment. He said that several districts of the state are having female officers as Senior Superintendent of Police and more than 10 districts have lady Deputy Commissioners.
