The Assam government will introduce an online transfer portal, ‘Swagata Satirtha,’ for its Grade 3 and 4 employees, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma announced on Tuesday.
The portal, designed to modernize and streamline the transfer process, will replace the old manual system and is set to become operational on January 1, 2025.
In a post on X, Sarma said, “Tomorrow, January 1, 2025, will mark the beginning of a new chapter in Employee Welfare. Fulfilling the long-standing demands of our State Govt employees, we will dedicate Swagata Satirtha, the mutual transfer portal for Grade III & Grade IV employees.”
The Chief Minister also highlighted his government’s ongoing efforts toward Assam’s all-round development.
The recently concluded 12-day development campaign saw significant initiatives, including distributing 20 lakh new ration cards, awarding the Bani Kanta Kakati Merit Scholarships to over 48,000 students, and providing bicycles to Class IX students to encourage education.
Sarma reaffirmed Assam’s commitment to the National Education Policy 2020, aiming to have a high school within a five-kilometer radius of every locality. The government is investing Rs. 2,000 crore annually to support student welfare, with Sarma urging students to prioritize education for the state’s brighter future.
