Job: Job opportunities have once again opened up for Bihar's youth. In a crucial cabinet meeting, the Nitish Kumar-led Bihar government approved 47 proposals, the most significant of which is the approval of approximately 4500 new positions across various state departments. This decision is not only crucial from an employment perspective but will also accelerate Bihar's developmental journey.
Key Decisions from the Cabinet Meeting
The Nitish Kumar cabinet meeting held on Wednesday approved 47 agendas. While several schemes and appointments were decided upon, the biggest announcement was the approval of over 4500 recruitments across various state government departments.
These recruitments include key departments such as Education, Urban Development and Housing, Social Welfare, and Health Engineering. The process of filling long-vacant positions in these departments will now be expedited.
Department-wise Recruitment Numbers?
While an official department-wise breakdown of the positions hasn't been released yet, sources suggest that the Education and Health departments will receive the largest number of appointments. Significant appointments are also expected in departments like Social Welfare and Urban Development.
The recruitment process for these positions will be conducted through the Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC), the Bihar Staff Selection Commission (BSSC), and the respective departments.
Significant Benefit for Youth
Millions of young people in Bihar have been preparing for government jobs for years. The slow pace of recruitment had led to disillusionment among unemployed youth. However, the government's decision to fill 4500 positions simultaneously has instilled hope in those preparing for BPSC, BTSC, and other competitive examinations.
Experts believe that a transparent and timely recruitment process will strengthen Bihar's workforce and administrative system.
Development Projects Also Approved
This cabinet meeting not only approved recruitments but also several schemes to improve the state's infrastructure.
- Major Investment in Sewage Projects: Crores of rupees have been allocated for modern sewage systems in cities like Sasaram, Aurangabad, and Siwan. This is expected to alleviate waterlogging and sanitation issues in these urban areas.
- Water Supply Schemes: Large-scale projects have been approved to improve drinking water supply in cities like Siwan, Ara, and Sasaram. This will ensure the availability of clean drinking water for urban populations.
- Bridge Maintenance Policy: A dedicated maintenance policy for state bridges has been approved. This decision is considered crucial for strengthening the state's infrastructure.
- Dry Dock for Ship Repair: A plan to construct a dry dock on five acres of land in Patna's Dujara has been approved, boosting water transport in the state and making ship repair services available locally.
What Government Sources Say?
Sources indicate that the government intends to complete these recruitments as soon as possible so that the services of these newly appointed personnel can begin effectively in the upcoming financial year. The Education Department will have recruitments at the teacher and clerk levels, while the Health Engineering Department requires engineers, technicians, and assistants.
A senior official stated, "Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's priority is to provide employment to youth and strengthen the state's infrastructure. These decisions have been made with this in mind."
Opposition Reaction
While the government's decision has generated enthusiasm among the youth, the opposition has termed it an election stunt, questioning the government about the timeline for these appointments. RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav stated, "The government should clarify when these appointments will be completed and whether transparency will be ensured."
