DELHI Lt Governor V K Saxena TODAY distributed appointment letters to 627 newly recruited employees of the Delhi government and DDA, including 27 doctors at a function held at Vigyan Bhawan here.

Saxena said the recruitment process was expedited by the Delhi State Subordinate Services Recruitment Board (DSSSB) and another 20,000 government posts are expected to be filled up by March 2025, reducing the “huge vacancies” in various departments of the Delhi government.

“We are committed to PM Modi’s emphasis on ending ad hocism in govt jobs & creating opportunities for eligible candidates in a free, fair & transparent manner,” Delhi LG said in a post on X, congratulating the new employees.

With over 17,000 permanent recruitment by DSSSB in the last two years, the count exceeds the total appointments made in the previous 10 years, he said in another post on X.
