Working in Pune but want to return to Jabalpur someday through MPEB/MP Electricity Dept — best path?

Currently working in Pune but long term I honestly want to return to my hometown Jabalpur and settle there permanently. Metro life is fine for growth and money, but I don’t see myself staying here forever.
I’ve been thinking about trying for jobs in MPEB/MP electricity departments like Madhya Pradesh Poorv Kshetra Vidyut Vitaran Company Limited or MP Power Transmission Company Limited because they seem to offer stable careers and eventually hometown postings.
Need genuine guidance from people who know the field:
Best entry route into MP electricity department
Which exams/forms to target
Engineering vs non-engineering opportunities
Is the salary/work-life actually good?
How difficult is it to eventually get Jabalpur posting?
Are contract jobs worth joining first?
What skills/preparation would you recommend while already working full time in Pune?
Would appreciate real experiences from employees or aspirants.
Main goal is stable career + eventually coming back to Jabalpur and staying close to family.

Bhai sach bolu to Jabalpur aake shock lag gaya. 5 mahine baad Pune se wapas aaya aur literally ek bhi dhang ka youth vibe nahi dikh raha.

Pehle kaafi mast mahaul hota tha — log chill, thoda fashionable, thoda happening. Ab bas chhapri energy hi zyada dikhti hai har jagah 😭

Kaha gayi wo “baddies”, kaha gaye wo normal, sorted log? Ya main hi galat jagah ghoom raha hu?

Kisi ko lagta hai scene shift ho gaya hai ya sab Pune/Bangalore bhaag gaye?
