New Delhi, May 23

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.

The 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.

Job seekers are mobilised and informed about the Rozgar Mela through various channels, such as print advertisements, bulk SMS, social media, and workshops at colleges and universities in and around the event's district.

Finally some good news for the youth! My cousin got selected through this Rozgar Mela and he's over the moon. The process was transparent - no recommendations, just merit. This is what we need more of. Proud of our PM for giving opportunities to the common man. 🇮🇳

All these 'Rozgar Melas' are just photo ops. The real unemployment rate is through the roof. 51,000 jobs for a population of 140 crore? That's 0.0036%. Yuk, gaya na? We need industrial revolution, not just government job fairs.

This is a great step! I've seen many of my batchmates from college who were struggling to get into govt jobs finally find a path through these melas. The fact that they're covering education levels from 8th pass to graduates is very inclusive. Every job counts. Keep it up, Modi ji! ✨

My younger brother got selected in the Railways through this. Honestly, the process was smooth and digital. No bribery, no agents. The PM's focus on both government jobs and skill development is the right mix. But we should also question why private sector isn't creating enough jobs.

These are impressive numbers, but the real test is retention and performance. Many govt employees become lethargic after joining. Hope these new recruits from Rozgar Mela bring fresh energy and actually work towards Viksit Bharat instead of just enjoying job security.
