Punjab Hands Over Appointment Letters to 21 Newly Recruited Employees
Punjab Minister for Land and Water Conservation Barinder Kumar Goyal on Wednesday handed over appointment letters to 21 newly recruited employees and also provide employment opportunities to the youth of the state.
Among the newly appointed candidates, 19 have been appointed as Agricultural Sub-Inspectors, one as Junior Draftsman and one as Peon.
While handing over the appointment letters to the newly appointed candidates at Punjab Bhawan, Goyal congratulated them and encouraged them to work with full dedication and sincerity.
He also mentioned that the appointments made by the state government were done with full transparency, ensuring that all jobs were awarded to deserving candidates based on merit.
Goyal further stated that the vision of the government is to provide employment opportunities to the youth in Punjab so that their skills contribute to the state's development.
He emphasized that the government has transformed the mindset of the people. He mentioned that the previous governments had eroded people's trust, as government jobs were only available through recommendations. However, under the leadership of Chief Minister S Bhagwant Singh Mann, the present government has changed this narrative.
People now know that only qualified and deserving candidates are appointed based on merit, which has enabled young people from ordinary families in the state to get jobs.
Goyal pointed out that previously, due to lack of employment opportunities in Punjab, the youth had to go abroad, but now, with the jobs provided by the Punjab government, they are returning to the state.
He also mentioned that among the newly appointed candidates, two individuals had worked in Canada and had returned to Punjab to receive their appointment letters for the Agricultural Sub-Inspector position.
Goyal further stated that the present government is the first in the country to provide employment to over 50,000 youth from ordinary families in Punjab during its tenure.
He urged the newly appointed candidates to understand that positions like Agricultural Sub-Inspector and Draftsman are the backbone of this department. He encouraged them to work diligently to implement government schemes related to land and water conservation and to create awareness among farmers about these schemes.
Additional Chief Secretary (Agriculture) Anurag Verma also congratulated the newly appointed employees and stressed the importance of water resource management.
The Chief Land Officer, Mahinder Pal Saini, welcomed the new recruits to the department and urged them to carry out their duties with full responsibility and dedication.
