Guwahati, Feb 16 (IANS) Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Sunday said that his government has prioritised the transparent recruitment process that has brought a major change to the governance model.
Chief Minister while attending a program here today underscored the imperative of transparent recruitment, efficient governance, and a dynamic administration in fostering public trust.
He asserted that good governance is the cornerstone of a robust administrative framework, cautioning that its absence invariably leads to social instability and an erosion of confidence in the system.
Acknowledging Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s decade-long commitment to establishing a model of governance, he noted that these initiatives have streamlined administrative processes, rendering them more systematic and significantly enhancing public service delivery.
Reflecting on the achievements of the past three and a half years, Sarma highlighted the government’s success in implementing various measures to ensure good governance.
He particularly emphasised the transparency in recruitment, affirming that despite the large scale of appointments, no allegations of irregularities have surfaced, nor have any cases been legally contested.
Expressing pride in this accomplishment, he observed that Assam’s recruitment model is now being emulated by several states.
He further reiterated Prime Minister Modi’s vision of India as a developed nation (Viksit Bharat) by 2047 and his endeavour to position the country as the world’s third-largest economy by 2027.
Urging the newly appointed candidates to align themselves with this vision, he exhorted them to uphold governance with integrity and dedicate themselves to public service, thereby strengthening the foundations of administrative excellence.
The Chief Minister also highlighted the appointment of distinguished archer Jayanta Talukdar as Deputy Superintendent of Police, recognising his stellar achievements, including a gold medal at the 2004 Asian Grand Prix, victories at the 2006 and 2009 Archery World Cup, a silver at the 2005 World Championship, and a bronze at the 2010 Commonwealth Games.
Noting his participation in the 2012 London Olympics, he remarked that Talukdar’s induction into the police force exemplifies the Assam government’s commitment to honouring outstanding talent.
