PM Viksit Bharat Rozgar Yojana supporting job creation, building future workforce: PM Modi
New Delhi, June 19
Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Friday that the PM Viksit Bharat Rozgar Yojana is helping generate employment, empower the country's youth and build a stronger workforce for the future.
Addressing an incentive disbursal programme under PM-VBRY, the Prime Minister added the initiative has helped create millions of jobs in recent years and has emerged as a symbol of the Union government's commitment to providing opportunities for young Indians.
"PM-VBRY is the identity of a new India. It represents an India where employment generation is at the core of the country's spirit. When youth, government and industry come together, the pace of job creation increases many times over," PM Modi said.
"India is among the world's youngest nations and that the journey towards a developed India will be shaped by the dreams, skills and capabilities of its youth," the Prime Minister added.
He stressed that empowering young people through meaningful employment opportunities remains a key priority of the Union government.
PM Modi noted that the Union government is standing firmly behind young people entering the workforce for the first time.
"The scheme not only supports job seekers but also encourages industries to recruit and invest in fresh talent," he said.
"When a young person starts his or her first job, the government stands with them. This gives confidence to employers as well, as they know the entire government ecosystem is supporting the process," he added.
The Prime Minister congratulated both the youth who secured employment opportunities and the institutions that recognised their potential and provided them jobs.
He said these organisations have played a significant role in generating lakhs of employment opportunities in recent months.
Highlighting the importance of collaboration, PM Modi said experience and data have consistently shown that employment generation accelerates when the government, industry and youth work together.

As a fresher from a small town, I can vouch that this scheme is a game-changer! The government standing behind first-time job seekers gives confidence to both employees and employers. However, implementation at the ground level needs improvement - many of my friends in tier-3 cities are not even aware of such schemes. The awareness campaign needs to be stronger.
Interesting approach. In the US we have similar federal job training programs but they rarely work this smoothly. The public-private partnership model here seems genuinely effective. India's demographic dividend is real - 65% below 35 years is incredible. If this scheme scales properly, it could be a template for other developing nations.
Respectful question: Can someone explain how PM-VBRY is different from earlier schemes like PMKVY or MGNREGA? The article sounds great but I've seen many such announcements in the past with limited ground impact. My concern is whether the millions of jobs claimed are regular salaried positions or contract-based work. Data transparency would build more trust. 🙏
This is exactly what India needs! My brother got placed in a Bengaluru IT firm through this scheme's placement drive. The best part is they didn't ask for experience - just skills and motivation. Modi ji is right, when youth, government and industry collaborate, miracles happen. Jai Hind! 🇮🇳
Good initiative but let's be honest - the real challenge is quality of jobs, not just numbers. Many of my batchmates got placed through such schemes but end up doing low
