Bhopal, Oct 28 (IANS) Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav on Tuesday said the government has decided to form a committee to implement a unified pension scheme to address pension disparities for state employees.
The Chief Minister announced that a new commission, comprising retired senior officers, would also be constituted to address pay anomalies, grade pay issues and designation changes in various staff cadres in the state.
Yadav made these announcements while addressing the Diwali Milan program organized by the State Employees Federation at Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Park in Bhopal on Tuesday.
“The government aims to give promotions to all eligible officers and employees; though the matter is in court, around four lakh state employees are expected to get the benefits soon,” the Chief Minister said during his address.
He further said that the success of the government is not possible without the cooperation of its employees, adding that the role of officers and employees is important in the development of the state.
He said, “The happiness visible on the faces of the employees is the true foundation of our progress. Government employees are the real Karmayogis who ensure the implementation of every public welfare scheme at the grassroots level.”
He emphasized that prompt resolution of public problems and dedication to duty is the responsibility of all officers and employees. “The government and administration are working in coordination to accelerate the state’s progress in all sectors,” he said.
Meanwhile, the Chief Minister also said that new recruitments will start soon and two lakh new posts will be created.
“A unified examination will be conducted to avoid multiple examinations for different posts,” he said.
The Chief Minister shared that to expedite police recruitment, a separate Police Recruitment Board is being set up, through which 20,000 posts will be filled in the department.
“The recruitment process has already started. Besides, 476 new posts of Anganwadi supervisors have been sanctioned, and digital recruitment for 19,504 new posts of Anganwadi workers and helpers is also going on for the first time,” he said.
The Chief Minister said that the state government has increased the dearness allowance for its employees by 55 percent, bringing it at par with the central government employees. The outstanding amount has been released in five equal installments between June and October 2025.
