Guwahati, July 30: Prime Minister Narendra Modi has endorsed Assam’s government job recruitment model, urging other states to study and emulate it.

This endorsement was highlighted in a tweet by Assam Minister Pijush Hazarika, who praised the model’s success in hiring nearly 100,000 government employees without any legal disputes.

During a recent conclave of BJP chief ministers in New Delhi, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma received accolades from senior party members and fellow chief ministers for this remarkable achievement.

Prime Minister Modi’s attention was particularly drawn to the seamless execution of the recruitment process, which was free from controversy or public dissatisfaction.

In recognition of this success, Sarma presented the recruitment strategy at the conclave. Prime Minister Modi then directed central government officials to gather comprehensive details from Assam’s state officials.

Additionally, the Assam team was tasked with sharing their effective approach with other BJP-ruled states to foster broader implementation of this efficient model.

Before 2021, Assam’s public sector recruitment faced significant hurdles, with inefficiencies, confusion due to concurrent examinations by different departments, and numerous court cases regarding examination procedures and reservation policies.

These issues severely undermined the recruitment process’s credibility.

Under Chief Minister Sarma’s leadership, the government implemented a transparent and cost-effective centralised recruitment system.

This reform introduced direct recruitment commissions for analogous posts and state-level recruitment commissions for Class III and IV positions.

A combined appointment procedure grouped vacant posts by qualification and conducted common written examinations, standardising the evaluation process and reducing costs.

Despite facing challenges in coordinating with 48 different departments and managing written tests for 1.4 million candidates, the centralised recruitment initiative led to substantial improvements in efficiency and transparency, marking a significant milestone in Assam’s public sector employment strategy.
