CM Khandu presents job letters to 131 PGT teachers
REGIONAL: Chief Minister Pema Khandu Thursday felicitated and presented Orders of Appointment to 131 successful candidates of the Post Graduate Teachers (PGT) Examination-2025 conducted by the Arunachal Pradesh Public Service Commission (APPSC).
Congratulating them on joining one of the most important professions he urged them to become agents of educational transformation in the State.
Addressing the newly appointed teachers at an official ceremony organised by the General Administration Department here this morning, the Chief Minister also congratulated the Arunachal Pradesh Public Service Commission for conducting the recruitment process in a transparent, efficient and time-bound manner.
“Following the advice of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to focus on reforms across every sector, we undertook comprehensive reforms in our recruitment agencies. The Arunachal Pradesh Staff Selection Board was established, while the APPSC was completely estructured by plugging loopholes and strengthening institutional systems. Today, both institutions have become symbols of transparency and merit-based recruitment,” he said.
Observing that women continue to dominate merit-based competitive examinations in the State, the Chief Minister expressed happiness over the outstanding performance of female candidates.
“It is heartening to see that our daughters are consistently excelling in competitive examinations. Whether at home, in society or in public service, women in Arunachal Pradesh are leading from the front. The future of Arunachal is undoubtedly in safe hands,” he remarked.
Highlighting the immense potential of Arunachal Pradesh’s youth, Khandu said the State possesses exceptional talent not only in academics but also in sports, performing arts, music and several other fields.
Referring to the remarkable progress in sports, the Chief Minister pointed out that Arunachal Pradesh, once among the lowest-performing states in the country, has now emerged as the second-best performing State in the North East in the National Games.
The Chief Minister emphasised that the achievements of the State have been possible through collective efforts involving elected representatives, civil servants, technocrats, Panchayati Raj Institutions, community-based organisations and citizens. “I firmly believe in teamwork. Development cannot happen in silos. Every stakeholder has contributed to Arunachal’s progress, and together we must continue this journey,” he said.
