Lieutenant Governor Vinay Kumar Saxena distributed appointment letters to 702 newly posted civil servants in various departments and civic bodies of the Delhi Government at a function held at Vigyan Bhavan here on Friday.

These appointments cover a number of sectors, including 232 in the Health Department, 200 in the Education Department, 119 in the Planning Department, and 88 in the Training and Technical Education Department.

Addressing the recruits, Saxena congratulated them and encouraged them to work for the betterment of the society. “Government jobs are not just a source of livelihood but an opportunity to contribute to the development of the country,” he stressed.

Highlighting the benefits of permanent employment, Saxena noted that contract and ad hoc appointments often lack job security, compromising the quality of work. He said that permanent appointments eliminate irregularities in recruitment and ensure better quality of service delivery.

“These permanent appointments are in line with Prime Minister Modi’s vision of promoting efficiency and accountability in governance,” Saxena commented. He further said that such initiatives are important to achieve the Prime Minister’s vision of ‘Growth India’ by 2047.
