The Punjab government has taken a significant step towards strengthening local governance and empowering communities by reintroducing the Numberdar system after a hiatus of 20 years.
This historic decision aims to provide 12,000 new job opportunities as Numberdars enabling competent individuals to actively contribute to the progress and development of the state.
To expedite the recruitment process for the vacant 12,000 Numberdar posts, a fast-track summary has already been set in motion.
This ensures a swift selection of qualified individuals who can fulfill their roles effectively.
In addition to employment opportunities, the government has allocated 100 kanal of land to support the existing 38,000 Numberdars across the state.
This move recognized the vital role they play in local governance and encourages a sense of ownership and responsibility towards their respective communities.
Under the revived Numberdar system, officials will take on 22 important responsibilities.
These duties include assisting in the recovery of government lands, managing natural calamities, and actively participating in improving health, education, and livestock management in their regions.
The decision to reintroduce the Numberdar system has garnered widespread support from citizens, local communities, and experts.
It is believed that this move will strengthen grassroots-level governance, enhance public services, and promote more inclusive development throughout Punjab.
