# MP starts work on 1 lakh vacancies after CM jibe at GAD 2026-10-06T18:31:27+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Madhya Pradesh's General Administration Department (GAD) has begun gathering data from all departments on promotions and vacancies, a day after Chief Minister Dr Mohan Yadav criticised its functioning. Officials held a meeting on Tuesday, 6 October, seeking department-wise information on pending promotions and recruitment. The exercise aims to prepare a report for the chief minister's review meeting. Departments that submitted incomplete data have been asked to submit full reports. The GAD will separately compile data on posts falling vacant after promotions and those available for direct recruitment. The state government plans to fill nearly one lakh posts through recruitment in 2027. Chief Minister Yadav had said on Monday, 5 October, that the government aimed to complete one lakh new appointments by 2027, with around 85,000 appointments already made during the current tenure. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The GAD's sudden data-collection drive, triggered by a public jibe from the chief minister, signals a push to accelerate recruitment and promotion processes across Madhya Pradesh's bureaucracy. The directive touches nearly every major department, from home to finance, meaning a large number of government employees and candidates awaiting jobs are directly affected. The GAD must now produce a consolidated report for the chief minister’s review, and the next step will be the chief minister’s decision on filling the identified vacancies. Tightening the process also puts pressure on departments that have lagged in completing promotions, potentially clearing long-pending career progression for thousands of employees. ## Coverage - bhaskar.com Straight news report of government actions, no editorialising.
