He added that after the government decided to move ahead despite the obstacles, work that had remained pending for years was completed within a few days.
Yadav also said that during discussions with departments, he found that some officials had even forgotten how the Departmental Promotion Committee (DPC) process was conducted because promotions had remained stalled for so long.
The Chief Minister urged officers and employees to remain positive and not allow stagnation to affect their morale.
“Seeing your smiling faces today gives us happiness,” Yadav said.
He said doing the same work continuously can lead to frustration and a feeling of stagnation. He also assured employees whose promotions are still pending that the government would address their concerns.
2.5 Lakh More Recruitments Planned
With promotions being addressed, Yadav said the government would now focus on recruitment across departments.
He highlighted recruitment already undertaken as well as the government’s future plans:
- 18,000 police personnel to be recruited over the next two years, including around 1,000 drivers.
- Around 7,000 professors have already been recruited.
- More than 10,000 school education posts have been filled.
- Around 1 lakh recruitments have been completed in the last two-and-a-half years.
- The government plans to undertake another 2.5 lakh recruitments.
Jan Vishwas Abhiyan Begins From Chhindwara
The Chief Minister also announced the launch of the Chief Minister Jan Vishwas Abhiyan from Chhindwara.
Under the initiative, officials will spend every Friday in the field instead of remaining in their offices. They will interact with citizens, hear their grievances and work towards their speedy resolution.
Yadav said the initiative aims to bring officials and public representatives closer to people and ensure that administrative problems are addressed promptly.
“Every Friday, no officer will sit in the office. All officials and public representatives will remain in the field among the people,” he said.
The Chief Minister said he would also actively participate in the campaign along with elected representatives and officials.
Government Highlights Welfare and Development Agenda
Yadav also spoke about the broader development and welfare agenda of the state and Centre, saying government officials and employees are playing an important role in implementing welfare schemes for the poor, youth, women and farmers.
He said India has gained a distinct position globally under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership and continues to make progress across sectors.
