He said that all departments of the state government have been asked to complete the necessary formalities related to recruitment so that the year-wise recruitment process can proceed without interruptions.

“The vacancies will first be calculated for each cadre as of April 1, 2024. Positions that are already under process by the Employees Selection Board, MPPSC, or other institutions will not be included in the vacancy calculation,” he said.

The Chief Minister also stated that the recruitment of fourth-class positions in various state offices, will be done through only outsourcing policy, however, in specific cases where direct recruitment for fourth-class positions is essential, will be considered.
