Bhubaneswar: The Odisha Government has initiated a statewide exercise to finalize appointments in state-run Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs), setting June 30, 2026, as the target date for completing the process.
In a move aimed at strengthening governance and improving the functioning of public sector enterprises, the government has directed concerned departments and authorities to furnish updated information regarding appointments and vacancies across various PSUs.
Officials said the exercise is intended to streamline recruitment procedures, ensure greater transparency in appointments, and reinforce accountability within state-owned enterprises. The collected data will help the government assess existing vacancies, monitor staffing requirements, and expedite the appointment process where necessary.
Public Sector Undertakings play a crucial role in Odisha’s economy, contributing to sectors such as energy, infrastructure, industry, transportation, and public services. Filling key positions in these organizations is expected to enhance administrative efficiency and support effective decision-making.
The directive reflects the state’s broader efforts to improve institutional performance and strengthen oversight mechanisms within public sector bodies. By establishing a clear timeline for appointments, the government aims to ensure that leadership and operational positions are filled in a timely and transparent manner.
Departments have been asked to submit the required information promptly to facilitate the completion of the exercise within the stipulated deadline. Officials indicated that the initiative will also help identify gaps in manpower and support future workforce planning across state-run enterprises.
The June 30 deadline underscores the government’s focus on improving public sector management through efficient recruitment practices, enhanced accountability, and better governance standards.
