Jharkhand CM hands over appointment letters to 299 new CDPOs, women supervisors

Ranchi, April 21 (SocialNews.XYZ) Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren handed over appointment letters to newly recruited personnel under the Women, Child Development and Social Security Department at a function held at the Jharkhand Secretariat here on Tuesday.

A total of 62 Child Development Project Officers (CDPOs) and 237 women supervisors received their appointment letters from the Chief Minister at the event.

Addressing the gathering, CM Soren said that large-scale recruitment had taken place after a long gap and described it as an important step for the state.

Expressing confidence in the newly appointed personnel, Soren said they would discharge their responsibilities with sincerity and sensitivity and ensure that departmental schemes are effectively implemented at the grassroots level.

Highlighting the role of women in Jharkhand’s overall development, the Chief Minister said that the appointments were made keeping women-related issues in focus.

Describing malnutrition as a serious challenge, he called for collective efforts to eliminate it and urged the new recruits to play an active role in making the state malnutrition-free.

Soren said several remote areas of Jharkhand still lack basic facilities and stressed that ensuring the reach of government schemes to such regions should be a priority.

Emphasising coordination and accountability among officials and employees, he said this would bring greater transparency in implementation and ensure speedy delivery of benefits to the people.

Underlining the need for administrative transparency and better coordination, the Chief Minister said connectivity was essential for the effective implementation of schemes in both rural and urban areas. With this objective, mobile phones and tablets have been provided to block- and village-level women workers of the department.

Soren said women were playing a vital role not only in their families but also in the development of society and the state.

Congratulating the selected candidates, he wished them good luck and a bright future.

Minister Radha Krishna Kishore, Chief Secretary Avinash Kumar, Secretary of the Women and Child Development Department Uma Shankar Singh, Director Kiran Kumar Pasi, senior officers and family members of the newly appointed candidates were present on the occasion.
