Assam is gearing up for a major boost in public sector employment, with Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma announcing a recruitment drive to hire 40,000 youths on October 10. In a stride towards transparency and meritocracy, the state aims to hit 1.60 lakh total appointments.

The campaign is notable for its focus on diverse sectors. Appointment letters for new recruits were distributed across veterinary, tourism, and educational departments.
