higher priority is being given to serve their interest.

For this cause we, in the government here, have been working on a
number of initiatives that provide youngsters fair opportunity in the
stream of their choice in higher education or making the career as per
the potentials and eligibility in their respective arena, he said.

For this, we have removed all bottlenecks and grey areas from the
administrative system of the previous regime that used to obstruct
aspirants’ attempts in pursuing academic entrance exams and/or the
recruitment tests for government jobs.

Now, the paper leaks exist no more, every aspirant gets even ground in
competition to avail enhanced opportunities for their future making.
Our government’s initiatives do address all needs of youngsters,
including job avenues, scholarships or financial assistance to needy
ones from various strata, and interest free soft loans to enterprising
youths for setting up their own start-up or industry.

In our 2- year regime we have announced numerous openings in
government services. More than one lakh posts have already been filled
up, process for about 1.25 lakh posts has been progressing and around
1 lakh more posts will be filled up through recruitments by the end of
the current year, the chief Minister concluded.

awareness for the Cleanliness by launch of the Swachhta Abhiyan that
