The Madhya Pradesh government is set to recruit approximately 85,000 vacant government positions in 2026 to tackle staff shortages across various departments, according to Chief Minister Mohan Yadav. The recruitment process, which will be carried out via the Employee Selection Board (ESB) and Madhya Pradesh Public Service Commission (MPPSC), is being prepared for the upcoming year.
The decision to expedite the filling of these positions comes after complaints that staff shortages have hindered routine work and the delivery of public services.
Mohan Yadav had directed officials to focus on filling around one lakh (100,000) posts after seeking department-wise details of vacancies from the General Administration Department. The recruitment process has already been initiated through various agencies, including MPESB, MPPSC, and MP Online. For the Women and Child Development Department, 781 Anganwadi worker posts and 1,767 Anganwadi helper posts have been added, bringing the total to 2,548 posts.
The government has also initiated the promotion process, following a decade-long lull, resulting in around one lakh officers and employees being promoted. With the vacancies created by these promotions, the government will identify the posts that have become vacant and plan recruitment accordingly. Employee organizations have welcomed the focus on recruitment but emphasized the need for a regular process.
