In a significant boost to state employment, Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi distributed appointment letters to 1,101 newly recruited officers and employees on Saturday. The ceremony took place during the 'Nijukti Mela' (Rozgar Mela) organized at the Krushi Shiksha Sadan in Bhubaneswar.
The new recruits represent various categories across four key government departments, marking a major step in the state's efforts to strengthen its administrative and departmental workforce.
Massive Employment and Investment Targets
Addressing the newly appointed officials, Chief Minister Majhi emphasized that his government is prioritizing job creation and industrial growth. He highlighted the ‘Utkarsh Odisha’ initiative as a cornerstone of the state's strategy to drive economic progress.
The Chief Minister shared ambitious goals for the state's economic future, stating:
