Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday virtually distributed appointment letters for central government jobs to more than 51,000 youths at a ‘Rozgar Mela’.

Since the launch of the Rozgar Mela initiative, around 12 lakh recruitment letters have been issued through 18 such events organised across the country.

Addressing the event, Modi said, “Today is a very important day for thousands of youths across the country. Today, more than 51,000 young people have received appointment letters for government jobs.”

He said the newly recruited candidates would become partners in the country’s development journey across sectors including railways, banking, defence, health and education.

“Today, all the recruited youths are becoming key partners in the country’s journey of development. In railways, banking, defence, health, education and many other sectors, all the youths are about to take on new responsibilities,” he said.

“In the coming years, you all are going to play an important role in fulfilling the resolve for a developed India. For this achievement, I congratulate you, as well as your family members, very warmly,” the prime minister added.

Modi said India’s youth are playing a major role in accelerating the country’s journey towards a ‘Viksit Bharat’.

“Rozgar Mela reflects our government’s commitment to empowering the ‘Yuva Shakti’ with new opportunities,” he said.

The prime minister also said the world was showing growing interest in India’s youth and technological progress.

“Today, the world wants to be a part of India’s development journey,” he said.

Officials said the Rozgar Mela is part of the government’s effort to prioritise employment generation and provide job opportunities to young people across the country.

The Rozgar Mela was held at 47 locations nationwide on Saturday.

The selected candidates, drawn from different parts of India, will join various ministries and departments including railways, home affairs, health and family welfare, financial services and higher education, among others.
