Union Home Minister Amit Shah today distributed appointment letters to 44,703 Assam youths who have cleared the two-tier examinations for getting recruited in various state government departments.
Upon his arrival at the Guwahati airport earlier in the day, Shah was received by Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma.
State ministers Ajanta Neog, Jayantamalla Baruah, Ranjeet Kumar Das, Lok Sabha MP Dilip Saikia and BJP state president Bhabesh Kalita were also present.
In the run-up of 2021 Assembly elections, Himanta Biswa Sarma had promised that if the BJP returned to power in the state, 1 lakh youths would be absorbed in government jobs within a year.
The Sarma-led government completed two years on May 10 and according to the Chief Minister, with this fresh list of 44,703, more than one lakh youths will be offered employment.
He further claimed that in July, the state government will start the recruitment process to fill up another 22,000 vacant posts.
