Ahmedabad, Jul 11 (PTI) Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel on Friday said the state government has prepared a recruitment calendar for the next 10 years for all its departments.
He was speaking after distributing appointment letters to the newly-inducted conductors of the Gujarat State Road Transport Corporation (GSRTC) and officers of the state water supply department.
He handed over appointment letters to 2,320 conductors and 144 officers of the water supply department at the event held at Mahatma Mandir Convention Centre in state capital Gandhinagar.
“Thanks to the online recruitment system introduced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi for government jobs when he was at the helm of affairs in the state, the entire process has become fast and transparent,” he said in his address.
Walking on the path shown by the PM, the state government has prepared a recruitment calendar for the next 10 years for all its departments, he said.
“Today is World Population Day and India is the world’s youngest country. PM Modi has termed this demographic dividend in the form of India’s youth as an important pillar of the Viksit Bharat 2047,” the CM said.
“Under the visionary leadership of PM Modi, Gujarat has become a role model of development in the country. From a state facing acute water shortage in the past, the PM made Gujarat a water surplus state through effective water management,” he said.
“He (Modi) brought in a water revolution by diverting excess flood water of Narmada to the arid regions of Gujarat through Sujalam Sufalam (scheme) as well as Saurashtra Narmada Avtaran Irrigation Yojana (Sauni scheme),” Patel added.
The CM said the GSRTC has always remained at the forefront in serving people in the times of natural calamities and during the times of COVID-19 pandemic.
“GSRTC has embraced the latest technology in its operation, such as online ticket booking and QR code scanning machines. Under the leadership of PM Modi, the state transport has undergone a transformation,” he said.
Now, AC sleeper coaches and electric-powered buses are plying on the roads of Gujarat at present instead of old buses, according to him.
“It was Modi who started the tradition of employing women bus conductors. At present, 763 women and 85 ‘divyangs’ (differently-abled) are serving in the state transport,” he said. PTI PJT NP
