430 Youths in Chhattisgarh Secure Opportunities in Government Service; Appointment Letters Handed Over to Laboratory Attendants
Raipur: Taking another significant step towards ensuring a secure future for the youth and establishing a transparent recruitment system in Chhattisgarh, Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai on Thursday April 16, 2026 distributed appointment letters to 430 Laboratory Attendants selected under the Higher Education Department.
The letters were presented during a dignified ceremony held at the auditorium of Pt. Ravishankar Shukla University.
Speaking on the occasion, Chief Minister Sai congratulated all the newly appointed candidates, stating that the state government is fully committed to building a bright future for the youth. He noted that comprehensive reforms have been implemented to make recruitment processes within the state transparent, fair, and systematic—reforms whose positive results are now beginning to manifest.
The Chief Minister stated that, with the objective of ensuring integrity and accountability in administration, a ‘Department of Good Governance and Convergence’ has been established.
Furthermore, ministerial operations have been integrated into an e-system to effectively block avenues for corruption. He made it clear that no form of injustice against the future of the youth would be tolerated.
Chief Minister Sai remarked that by handing over the investigation into the previous PSC scam to the BI, the government has sent a clear message that transparency and justice are its highest priorities. Additionally, stringent legal provisions have been enacted to prevent the use of unfair means in recruitment examinations, thereby further bolstering the credibility of these exams.
He further added that efforts are underway to establish the ‘Chhattisgarh Staff Selection Board’ and to implement a fixed ‘Examination Calendar’ in order to make recruitment processes simpler and more accessible.
The Chief Minister concluded by saying that, through the state’s new industrial policy, employment opportunities for local youth within the private sector are being expanded. Employment generation is being accelerated by providing incentives to industries, ensuring that alongside government jobs, the private sector also emerges as a robust alternative for the youth.
Calling upon all newly appointed employees to discharge their duties with loyalty, honesty, and dedication, the Chief Minister urged them to play an active role in building a developed Chhattisgarh.
Describing this recruitment process as a significant achievement, Higher Education Minister Tankram Verma stated that the entire procedure has been grounded in the principles of transparency, fairness, and good governance.
He remarked that this marks a historic initiative aimed at ensuring that deserving and talented youth receive their rightful opportunities. Minister Verma further noted that a counseling system was adopted to ensure transparency even in the posting process—an arrangement that underscores the government’s unwavering commitment to good governance.
He asserted that, with the vision of a ‘Developed India by 2047’ in mind, this new generation is poised to play a pivotal role in propelling Chhattisgarh to new dimensions of progress and prosperity.
The recent appointments of Lab Technicians—followed now by those of Laboratory Attendants—serve as clear evidence of the government’s proactive efforts in this direction.
Addressing the gathering, Dr. S. Bharathidasan, Secretary of Higher Education, congratulated the selected candidates and encouraged them to discharge their responsibilities with utmost sincerity and dedication. Departmental officials and staff members—including Dr. Santosh Dewangan, Commissioner of the Higher Education Department—were present on this occasion.
