The Madhya Pradesh government plans direct recruitment for 1.5 lakh posts, with Chief Secretary Ashok Barnwal directing departments to submit vacancy proposals by 25 November and clear over 2,300 pending compassionate appointments.
Madhya Pradesh's administration has announced a large‑scale direct recruitment drive covering approximately 150,000 vacant positions across various state departments. Chief Secretary Ashok Barnwal, in a review meeting, instructed all departmental heads to forward detailed proposals for each vacancy to the state secretariat no later than 25 November.
The directive also calls for the swift resolution of more than 2,300 pending compassionate appointments, which have been awaiting approval for an extended period. Officials are expected to prioritize these cases alongside the new recruitment plan.
The move aims to address chronic staffing shortages, improve service delivery, and reduce reliance on temporary or contractual hires. The government has not yet disclosed the exact timeline for the selection process or the criteria that will govern the direct appointments.
Stakeholders, including employee unions and civil‑service experts, have welcomed the initiative but urged transparency in the shortlisting and selection stages. The state will monitor progress closely and may issue further guidelines as the recruitment cycle advances.
