He handed them a mission. 88 Livestock Extension Officers and 13 Sugarcane Supervisors aren’t just filling posts; they’re being tasked to empower rural communities, fix broken systems, and bring transparency to farming support. What’s unusual? CM Dhami made it clear: no connections, no shortcuts; only merit. Over 34,000 youth have gotten jobs under this model in 5 years. He’s betting on young officers to deliver for farmers, not just file paperwork. And there’s a twist; sugarcane farmers in Uttarakhand now get ₹5 more per quintal than UP. Why? Because the state is linking pay to performance; and policy to people. These officers aren’t just bureaucrats. They’re frontline change-makers. And their first job? Make sure no farmer or livestock owner waits, wonders, or walks away frustrated.
