What did Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann say?
Noting that 63,943 youths have already been given government jobs purely on merit, the Chief Minister asserted that the process of handing over appointment letters would continue in the coming days, contrasting it with previous governments where jobs were decided by recommendation and bribes rather than capability.
Sharing a few snippets from the event on X, CM Bhagwant Singh stated: “Today in Mohali, appointment letters were distributed to 916 young men and women from various departments. They were extended best wishes to serve Punjab and its people with complete dedication and integrity. So far, 63,943 youths have been provided government jobs without bribery or recommendation. In the coming days as well, the process of handing over appointment letters to the youth under ‘Mission Rozgar’ will continue uninterrupted.”
Addressing the gathering at Vikas Bhawan while distributing appointment letters to newly recruited youth, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann said that for decades, the rightful opportunities of the state’s young men and women were cornered by relatives and close associates of those in power, leaving merit sidelined and aspirations crushed.
“Earlier, the rights of Punjab’s youth were grabbed by the near and dear ones of those in power. The legendary martyrs like Shaheed-e-Azam Bhagat Singh and others must be deeply hurt that even after more than 70 years of Independence, their dreams were not fulfilled. This is a major embarrassment for all of us,” he said.
What is Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann’s effortss for national heroes?
The Chief Minister asserted that ever since assuming office, his government has been making sustained efforts to realise the dreams of the country’s great national heroes. “Previous governments looted the money meant for education and even jobs. Our government has opened the doors of government jobs for the youth,” the Chief Minister said, adding that 63,943 youths have been provided government jobs in the last four years.
Calling the day a landmark moment for the newly appointed candidates, CM Bhagwant Singh Mann said, “Today is a red-letter day for these youth who have received jobs in various departments. The Punjab government has crossed the figure of providing more than 63,000 government jobs in a completely transparent manner.” In contrast, he said, the Union government was offering schemes with conditions that were of little use to the common man.
Highlighting the state’s welfare initiatives, the Chief Minister asserted the Punjab government has launched the ‘Mukh Mantri Sehat Yojna’, the state’s largest health reform programme. “Every family will now get up to ₹10 lakh of cashless treatment. Earlier this limit was ₹5 lakh, which has now been doubled. Around 65 lakh families will benefit from this scheme aimed at the welfare of every section of society,” he said.
