Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Tuesday announced the start of a major recruitment drive in the education department, saying a large number of posts are lying vacant and, due to this, studies are being affected.
Mann was addressing a gathering during a state-level function here to mark Teacher's Day, according to an official release.
In consonance with the commitment to make Punjab a frontrunner state in education, the state government has decided to start a massive recruitment drive in the education department, he said.
