PM Modi Virtually Distributes 61,000 Appointment Letters at 18th Rozgar Mela
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday presided over the 18th edition of the Rozgar Mela, a significant employment generation initiative, where he electronically handed over appointment letters to 61,000 new recruits for various government positions. The event was conducted via video conferencing, connecting 45 locations across the nation where the newly selected candidates joined different ministries and departments.
Trade and Mobility Agreements Opening Doors for Youth
Addressing the gathering, Prime Minister Modi highlighted that India is actively entering into trade and mobility agreements with several countries. These international pacts are designed to unlock new avenues and create substantial opportunities for the youth, both within India and abroad. He emphasized that with the world's largest youth population, his government is relentlessly working to foster employment prospects through such strategic engagements.
"India is signing trade and mobility agreements with several countries. These trade agreements are bringing new opportunities for the youth of the nation," Modi stated during his virtual address. He reiterated the administration's commitment to prioritizing job creation as a core objective, ensuring that the demographic dividend translates into tangible economic growth and personal advancement for young Indians.
Rozgar Mela: A Cornerstone of Employment Generation
According to a statement from the Prime Minister's Office (PMO), the Rozgar Mela is a pivotal initiative that translates the government's vision into actionable results. It aligns with the prime minister's directive to accord the highest priority to employment generation. Since its inception, this program has facilitated the issuance of over 11 lakh (1.1 million) recruitment letters through similar events organized nationwide.
The 18th Rozgar Mela saw candidates from all regions of India joining various key ministries and departments, including:
- Ministry of Home Affairs
- Ministry of Health and Family Welfare
- Department of Financial Services
- Department of Higher Education
This widespread recruitment effort underscores the government's holistic approach to bolstering public sector employment and enhancing service delivery across critical sectors.
Expanding Horizons for India's Youth
Prime Minister Modi's remarks at the Rozgar Mela underscore a dual strategy: strengthening domestic job creation through government recruitment while simultaneously leveraging international trade agreements to open global opportunities. The focus on mobility agreements suggests a forward-looking approach to facilitating overseas employment and skill exchange, which could significantly benefit India's aspiring professionals.
The continued success of the Rozgar Mela initiative reflects a sustained effort to address unemployment challenges systematically. By integrating such large-scale recruitment drives with broader economic policies, the government aims to create a robust ecosystem where youth can thrive and contribute to the nation's progress.
