Read Time:3 Minute, 3 Second

Itanagar, 2 December : Setting an unprecedented trend, Chief Minister Pema Khandu today personally interacted and facilitated all 144 new recruits of Group C and D posts in various departments of the state government selected through Combined Graduate Level Examination (CGLE) and Combined Higher Secondary Level Examination (CHSLE) conducted by the Arunachal Pradesh Staff Selection Board (APSSB).

In an event titled ‘Rozgar Mela’ organized by the state government here at state banquet hall this afternoon, Khandu handed each new recruit a personally signed congratulatory letter welcoming them in the government fold and encouraging them work for the welfare and development of the state.

“On behalf of Team Arunachal, I welcome you to the fraternity of public servants of the state. Your actions, ethics and vision in your service life will help shape the future of our state. As you go about your duties, your actions and thoughts should remain focused towards fulfillment of the aspirations of your fellow citizens. Every step that that you take must be towards the betterment of our state and nation.

You will play an important role in shaping the future of Arunachal Pradesh. The responsibility of building a Viksit Arunachal  lies on your shoulders. Let us move ahead together, taking along every person, every family, every village, every culture, every dream and every hope. Together we can and must build a strong Arunachal Pradesh. As you go about your duties, remember to act without fear or favour, with honesty and dedication,” the letter read.

Addressing the newly selected employees, Khandu hailed them for getting employed purely on merit, with hard work and dedication without any fear and favour.

“Now that you are government employees, coming through a transparent and fair recruitment process, you have the responsibility to continue the trend of honesty, transparency and honesty in discharging your duties,” he said.

Talking of the APSSB, an initiative close to his heart, Khandu said that while serving as Tourism Minister he felt the need to recruit all Group C and D posts in a fair and transparent manner based on merit. Earlier, all such posts used to be filled up in-house by departments concerned posing a question on the merit of those selected.

“Formation of APSSB could have been done through a simple Cabinet decision and a subsequent Notification. But I made it a legislation and passed it through the Assembly so that no one in the future could tinker with it easily,” he revealed.

The APSSB was established through an act in the year 2017. TheISO 9001-2015 certified body has till date selected 1577 employees through 21 examinations of various categories.

With government employees getting selected only on merit (through APSSB and APPSC), Khandu said that in next five to six years, the state government will have such an efficient work-force that can achieve wonders for the state in terms of development, revenue generation and governance.

He, however, expressed concern on presence of ‘few individual employees’ who from time to time get lured away by easy money and indulge in corrupt practices.

“First the APSSB fiasco, then the APPSC paper leakage scam and the recent illegal appointments in education department. From day one, we have been taking strict against those found indulging in corrupt practices. So may have been jailed, lost their jobs and disgraced for life. I don’t know how anybody can still have the guts to do corruption? Just for a few individuals, the entire fraternity of government employees and the government have to face the flake,” he observed.

Khandu appealed to the newly recruited youths to not get lured away but set the benchmark for honesty, sincerity and dedication.
