Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has made a big claim regarding government jobs. On Monday, he said that no government has given as many jobs as his Assam government has given since independence. He said this while handing over permanent appointment letters to 23,956 contract teachers and state pool teachers. Along with this, he told that more than one lakh recruitments have taken place during his tenure so far. No government has given so many jobs since independence.
The Chief Minister further said that his government will give jobs to 50,000 more youth in departments like education and police by next year. The BJP government is constantly making efforts to provide employment to the youth of the country. Along with this, he said that during the campaign for the 2021 assembly elections, the BJP had promised to give one lakh government jobs every year in Assam. The government has taken steps towards fulfilling it.
One lakh jobs at once
Along with these claims, he said, ‘Before today’s appointments, we have given jobs to 1,00,389 youth. With this, our promise of giving one lakh jobs has been fulfilled. If we add today’s appointments, then 1,24,345 jobs have been done since May 2021.’ Further, the Chief Minister said, ‘In the 78 years of independence, no government has been able to give one lakh jobs at once. Our government has crossed that golden period and we hope that we will achieve more milestones in the future.’
Assam government will increase the salary of teachers
During this, he also talked about the new pension scheme of the central government. He said that all the appointed people will become a part of the National Pension System. Which will change to Unified Pension Scheme from April 2025. The Chief Minister told that his government spends Rs 2000 crore every year for the salary of TET pass teachers and this amount will be increased further in the coming years.
Along with this, he also attacked the Congress government and said that when he, as the Education Minister in the Congress government, got the TET teachers appointed for the first time with transparency and according to the rules. So at that time a lot of pressure was put on him. At that time, he was criticized a lot by his own government. Apart from this, he said that the education department will soon approve 6,000 posts for principals in schools.
