CM Himanta Biswa Sarma said Assam will add 22,000 government posts in the next two months

Himanta Biswa Sarma, the chief minister of Assam, has declared that 22,000 positions will be advertised over the course of the next two months in order to fill one lakh positions for the government under the current BJP-led administration. Sarma gave out appointment letters to 514 candidates for the most recent Assam Direct Recruitment Examination (ADRE) to fill openings for Class-III and Class-IV posts within several departments at a formal event.

In total, 87402 government positions have been made available so far during Sarma's tenure as chief minister. "Advertisements for hiring to fill an additional 22,000 openings will be released in a month or two. That will bring the overall hiring total well over the earlier pledged 1 lakh, he said on Sunday. In Assam, the BJP had pledged to create a million government jobs during the campaign for the 2021 local elections.

The state cabinet of Assam approved the resolution to provide one lakh jobs to unemployed youths in the state at its very first meeting in 2021, according to Sarma, but the entire procedure was delayed due to the second and third waves of the Covid-19 epidemic. The distribution of appointment letters to some 86,000 job applicants was finished by the state's celebration of the present dispensation's second anniversary, he said. "The recruitment process was expedited after the spread subsided," he said.
