The Odisha government has commenced an accelerated recruitment initiative targeting 1,183 vacant positions in various Boards and Corporations, with a completion deadline set for June 30. This decision follows a comprehensive review by the Public Enterprises Department, which revealed that 17 departments submitted data concerning hiring practices across 32 boards and corporations. Since the new government took office, only 677 individuals have been appointed, while 17 boards and corporations have not made any hires during this period. Additionally, numerous Chairman positions have remained vacant for nearly two years, prompting the government to prioritize filling these roles. The urgency of this recruitment drive was underscored during discussions between the Chief Minister and the State BJP President with central leadership in Delhi, focusing on addressing the long-standing vacancies within state public sector undertakings. This initiative reflects the government's commitment to enhancing operational efficiency and governance within these entities.
