"Millions of youth benefited through Rozgar Mela in last four years": Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw
Jaipur, May 23
Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw on Saturday said youth has consistently benefited from the Rozgar Mela in the last four years.
Addressing the event in Jaipur, Vaishnaw said, "Today, PM Modi has given appointment letters to over 51,000 youth across the country for jobs in various departments of the Government of India. This is a huge, continuous service called the 'Rojgar Mela', which has been running for 4 years, and millions of youth have been given jobs so far."
He said the initiative demonstrates the Centre's continued focus on job creation and empowering the youth through employment in different government sectors.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday distributed more than 51,000 appointment letters to newly inducted recruits under the Rozgar Mela initiative.
Congratulating the youth, the Prime Minister stated that they are stepping into their roles at a crucial juncture and will serve as responsible partners in the nation's growth story.
"Today, more than 51,000 youth have received appointment letters for government jobs. Today, all of you are becoming important partners, responsible partners, in the country's development journey," PM Modi said while addressing the appointees.
The Prime Minister emphasised that the new inductions span several critical sectors, which will be instrumental in driving the country forward.
"You are all going to assume new responsibilities in railways, banking, defence, health, education, and many other sectors. You will all play a crucial role in fulfilling the resolve for a developed India in the coming years," he added.
Rozgar Mela campaign aligns with the government's sustained focus on employment generation and youth empowerment, integrating new talent into various central ministries, departments, and state administrations to boost public service delivery.
Rozgar Melas primarily target youth aged 18 to 35, accommodating a range of academic qualifications, including those who have completed 8th, 10th, and 12th grades, as well as ITI, Diploma, and Graduate degrees. This also includes trained and certified candidates who meet the National Skills Qualifications Framework standards.

My cousin got an appointment letter in the railway department through this scheme last year. It genuinely changed our family's situation. I know many people criticize the government, but for lower-middle-class families like ours, these jobs are a lifeline. 🙏
Good initiative but we need to look beyond government jobs. India needs private sector growth too. The 4-year timeline is impressive, but the real test is whether these are permanent positions or temporary contracts. My concern is transparency in the selection process - many deserving candidates still complain about being left out.
My brother attended a Rozgar Mela in Jaipur last year. The process was well-organized, and he got a job in the postal department. The salary is decent and he gets benefits. This is exactly what India needs - more such direct recruitment drives rather than endless exam cycles that waste years of young lives. 👏
As someone who works in HR in Bangalore, I see the struggle of young graduates first-hand. Any initiative that creates employment is welcome. The government deserves credit for systematic approach. My only concern is whether these jobs are evenly distributed across states or concentrated in certain regions. Still, hats off for the scale of this operation.
