"Serve people with honesty, sensitivity": Bihar CM Samrat Chaudhary hands appointment letters to 2,027 BPSC successful candidates

According to an official release from Bihar Chief Minister's Office (CMO), congratulating and extending best wishes to the newly appointed officers on this occasion, he remarked that this is a historic moment in their lives. The simultaneous distribution of such a large number of appointment letters sets a new record.

In his address, the Chief Minister stated that public service is not merely a job but a path to serving the public and ensuring their welfare. Through these newly appointed officers, avenues for the progress of individuals in society will open up. He emphasised that the more honestly, dedicatedly, and sensitively they work, the faster Bihar will progress. Collective effort--involving the government, every section of society, and every citizen--is essential for building a 'Developed India' and a 'Prosperous Bihar.' The role of youth is crucial in Bihar's development, and the newly appointed officers will be key participants in this journey of progress.

The Chief Minister noted that between 2020 and 2025, 1.2 million government jobs and 5 million employment opportunities were provided. A target has been set to provide jobs and employment to 10 million youths between 2025 and 2030. The government is continuously working towards creating maximum opportunities for employment and self-employment for the youth.

He stated that Bihar's budget has increased to 3.47 lakh crore. To accelerate urban development in the state, 12 new townships will be developed, attracting large-scale investment. The all-round development of Bihar will be given fresh momentum by adopting the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model across various sectors.

The Chief Minister noted that special priority is being accorded to industrialisation in the state. Alongside transforming Bihar into a steel hub, special attention is being focused on key sectors such as semiconductors, nuclear energy, and food processing. Investments in these areas will generate extensive employment opportunities and strengthen the state's economy.

He mentioned that the common people are reaping the benefits of improved roads and infrastructure; thanks to enhanced road connectivity, it is now possible to travel from Patna to Bodh Gaya in approximately one and a half hours.

The Chief Minister urged the newly appointed officials to discharge their duties with utmost honesty and dedication. He highlighted that the 'Sahyog Karyakram' (Assistance Programme) ensures the time-bound redressal of public grievances within a stipulated 30-day period. He emphasised that the fundamental objective of anyone entering government service should be to serve the public, win their trust, and work continuously for Bihar's progress as a public servant.
