As part of the Government of India's nationwide employment generation initiative, a grand 'Rozgar Mela' was organised at the Convention Centre in Jammu on Saturday.

Divisional Railway Manager, Jammu, Vivek Kumar, graced the occasion as the Chief Guest. Chairman, Railway Recruitment Board, Jammu, Sanjay Tyagi, was also present on the dais, according to the release.
The ceremony commenced with an inspiring address by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who addressed the nation via video conferencing.
The Prime Minister said, "Today is a day to infuse new energy into the resolve of the youth and the resolve of a Developed India. The transparent transformation in government services is laying a strong foundation for New India. I call upon all newly appointed youth to contribute with complete dedication and integrity to nation-building in this Amrit Kaal."
Following his address, the Prime Minister made history by distributing appointment letters to thousands of youth across the country through digital mode. Simultaneously, 229 selected youth were handed physical appointment letters by the chief guests on the dais at Jammu Convention Centre.

An overwhelmed newly appointed candidate said, "This is not just a job, it is an honour for my family. This is the turning point of my life."
The Rozgar Mela not only brought happiness to 229 homes but also gave fresh momentum to the resolve of 'Viksit Bharat @2047'.

Yeh Narendra Modi ji ka vision hai - digital mode mein appointment letters dena, bahut innovative hai. Par mujhe thoda afsos hai ki sirf 229 youth ko mauka mila. J&K mein talent ki koi kami nahi, bas mauke chahiye. Umeed hai aage aur bhi rozgar mela honge.
Good to see employment generation in J&K. The digital distribution is impressive. However, 229 jobs seems small for the youth population there. Hope this becomes a regular initiative and not just a one-time event for photo ops.
Maza aa gaya dekh ke! 🎉 229 youth ko job milna koi chhoti baat nahi hai. Lekin ek sawaal hai - rozgar mela sirf Jammu mein kyun? Kashmir valley ke youth bhool gaye kya? Unko bhi iska hissa hona chahiye. Viksit Bharat sabke liye hai.
Railways, banks, armed forces, medical - multiple sectors mein bharti! Yeh bahut balanced approach hai. Par main sochta hoon ki private sector ko bhi isme involve karna chahiye. Government jobs limited hain, real employment private sector se aayega.
Great initiative! The emotional moment of handing appointment letters is touching. But let's be real - 229 jobs for J&K is just a drop in the ocean. The region needs massive industrial investment and skill development programs for sustainable employment.
