Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann said Punjab has created 70,000 jobs on merit, with no bribes or recommendations required.
Punjab's administration announced the creation of 70,000 new positions that will be filled strictly on merit, according to Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann. The CM emphasized that the recruitment process will not involve any monetary bribes or personal recommendations, aiming to ensure transparency and fairness.
The jobs span various sectors, including education, health, and public administration, and are expected to be advertised through official channels in the coming weeks. Applicants will be required to clear a standardized examination and meet eligibility criteria set by the state government.
Mann's statement comes amid growing public demand for clean recruitment practices in the state. The government has pledged to monitor the selection process closely and has set up a grievance redressal mechanism for any alleged irregularities.
If successful, the initiative could set a benchmark for merit‑based hiring across Indian states, reinforcing Punjab's commitment to good governance.
The recruitment drive is slated to commence shortly, with detailed guidelines to be released on the official Punjab government portal.
