Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Tuesday said his government has provided over 55,000 government jobs to youth in the state during its 36-month tenure.<\/p>\n
Addressing an event to distribute appointment letters to over 700 newly recruited teachers, Bhagwant Mann congratulated them and expressed hope that they would discharge their duties sincerely.<\/p>\n
He said the jobs were given based on merit as the government ensured a transparent recruitment process. Bhagwant Mann reiterated that the state government fills all the posts as soon as they are vacant in a department.<\/p>\n
A foolproof mechanism was adopted, ensuring that none of the 55,000 appointments have been challenged in court, he added.<\/p>\n
An “education revolution” has begun in Punjab, with major infrastructural revamps in schools and initiatives to improve the quality of education, the chief minister said.<\/p>\n
The government is also sending teachers to prestigious national and international institutes to enhance their skills, he said.<\/p>\n
Lashing out at the previous governments, the chief minister alleged that they deprived youth of employment, leading to their ouster by the people of the state.<\/p>\n
His government is now working to clean up the “mess” left behind and is committed to building a “Rangla Punjab” (vibrant Punjab), he said.<\/p>\n
A complete overhaul is being witnessed in all sectors of the state so as to give a major push to development of Punjab, he added.<\/p>\n
The state government is sending teachers abroad and even to prestigious national institutes to upscale their teaching skills, Mann said.<\/p>\n
The well trained staff has helped in enhancing the rate of admissions in government schools of the state, he said, adding that Punjab is witnessing “education revolution”.<\/p>\n
Mann said the recruitment of additional staff in schools has allowed teachers and principals to focus solely on academics, leading to an increase in student enrollment in government schools.<\/p>\n
