4,623 job letters in one go is impressive! My cousin got a government job through a similar fair last year and she's genuinely happy serving in a rural school. These recruitment fairs seem to work. Keep it up, Odisha government! 😊

I appreciate the emphasis on empathy and punctuality. As someone who works in bureaucracy in the UK, I know how easy it is for paperwork to overshadow the human element. Good luck to the new recruits! Honest service should be the hallmark of any government.

CM Majhi is right that public servants are the face of government. But 'face' should be smiling and helpful, not rude or corrupt. We've all met officers who forget they are there to serve, not rule. Let's hope this batch is different! ✨

I'm happy for the 4,623 families whose lives just changed. Every government job means stability and respect for a household. But I hope the government focuses equally on private sector job quality too. Both sectors need to improve working conditions and pay. 🤞

44,082 government jobs since June 2024 is a substantial number. Australia's public sector hires nowhere near that scale. Transparency and merit-based selection are critical. Odisha seems to be moving in the right direction for youth employment, even if challenges remain.
