Reflecting on the government’s journey since taking office in 2021, Sarma highlighted that the Assam government had initially pledged to create one lakh government jobs.

With the latest appointments, the total number of jobs provided now stands at 1,24,345, exceeding the original commitment.

This accomplishment addresses a long-standing demand of the teaching community in the state, Sarma added.

Looking ahead, Sarma promised the creation of an additional 50,000 jobs by May 2025, aiming to bring the total number of jobs created under his administration to 2 lakhs.

He further stressed that each of these employment opportunities has been delivered with transparency and without any instances of corruption.
