The newly sanctioned cadre includes 3 Sub-Inspectors, 11 women Sub-Inspectors, 9 Assistant Sub-Inspectors, 21 women Head Constables, 56 women Constables, and 5 Constable Drivers, ensuring strong female representation within the railway security apparatus.\n\nMajor Recruitment Push in Home Department\nAlongside the infrastructure rollout for railway policing, the Cabinet gave its clearance for direct recruitment under the Home Department. A total of 916 police constables, comprising both male and female candidates, will be inducted to reinforce law enforcement services state-wide.\n\nNew Multi-Disciplinary University in Sepahijala\nThe Cabinet also greenlit a proposal to set up a full-fledged university at Bishalgarh, situated in Sepahijala district. This upcoming higher education institute will provide academic qualifications ranging from certificate, diploma, and postgraduate diploma courses to undergraduate, postgraduate, M Phil, PhD, and post-doctoral research programmes. It will also hold the authority to confer honorary degrees such as D Litt and D Sc.\n\nStudents at the Bishalgarh institution will have access to a wide array of educational disciplines. The university plans to deliver courses covering science, engineering and technology, architecture and planning, social sciences and humanities, commerce and management, along with specialized medical systems such as AYUSH, yoga, naturopathy, and medical sciences.\n\nBoosting Academic and Administrative Staffing\nIn addition to policing and university setup, the government sanctioned 305 new posts across various state departments.
