Employment Opportunities from Large Industrial Projects
Discussing future employment opportunities, the Chief Minister mentioned the large industrial projects underway and proposed in the state. He said that projects like the semiconductor industry and the Namrup urea plant will generate employment on a large scale. Additionally, the proposed 3,000 MW thermal power project in the Dhubri Char area will also create additional jobs. Sarma stated that this project alone will provide employment to more than 10,000 people.
Proposed Technology-Based Transfer System
Addressing the frequent demands for transfers among government employees, the Chief Minister said that the transfer process will soon be technologically driven, reducing political interference and administrative delays. He explained that transfer decisions will now be made by machines. If an employee’s transfer application is based on an eligible vacancy, the computer will automatically complete the transfer process. The Chief Minister said that this system will be convenient for young people and eliminate government intervention. Under this system, two individuals will be able to exchange places by mutual consent, and the government will not have to intervene.
