Prime Minister Narendra Modi distributed 71,056 appointment letters to newly enrolled Rozgar Mela recruits via video conference on Tuesday, saying it demonstrates the government’s commitment to delivering government jobs to the youth.
On the occasion, the Prime Minister stated that the Mela has been conducted in Jammu and Kashmir, the Andaman Islands, Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, and Maharashtra, and that the endeavour to create work opportunities to the youth would continue indefinitely and will aid in nation-building. In his remarks at the occasion, Prime Minister Narendra Modi stated that initiatives such as ‘Make in India’ and ‘Vocal for Local’ are generating job and self-employment possibilities in the country.
The PM emphasised the Production Link Initiative (PLI) initiative as a major source of new job possibilities in his address.
“Under the PLI scheme only, it is expected to create 60 lakh new employment opportunities. Be it Make in India or Vocal for Local, all these schemes are creating new opportunities for employment and self-employment in the country. That means the opportunities for government and non-government jobs are increasing constantly,” PM Modi said.
The Prime Minister reiterated the resolve to make India a developed nation in the Amrit Kaal and said that the new recruits will be the ‘saarthi’ of the country in this period.
“You are getting this new responsibility in a special era. The country has entered Amrit Kaal. We the citizens have taken the resolution to make India a developed nation in this duration. To attain this resolution, you’re going to be the ‘saarthi’ of the country,” he said.
“In front of the rest of the people of the country, all of you who are going to shoulder this new responsibility, are being appointed as a representative of the Central Government in a way,” the Prime Minister added.
He also urged the new recruits to work on capacity building to increase efficiencies within the government.
“I would urge all of them to work on capacity building to increase efficiencies within the Government. Today, more than 71,000 youths are being given appointment letters in 45 cities. This will bring happiness to the homes of thousands of families,” he said.
PM Modi said that the Make in India or Vocal for Local schemes are creating new opportunities of employment for the youth.
“Be it Make in India or Vocal4Local, every scheme is creating new opportunities of employment for the youth. These opportunities are reaching our Yuva in every part of India. Youth are getting benefits from opening up of the space sector for private players. A few days ago, India witnessed how the private sector launched a space rocket successfully,” he said.
PM Modi introduced the Karmayogi Prarambh module – an online orientation course for all new appointments – via video conference earlier today at Rozgar Mela.
The Rozgar Mela is a step in fulfilling the Prime Minister’s vow to give the greatest priority to job creation.
According to the PMO, the Rozgar Mela is anticipated to work as a catalyst for future job creation and to create important possibilities for young empowerment and engagement in national development.
Earlier in October, 75,000 newly inducted appointees were given appointment letters under Rozgar Mela.
“The physical copies of the appointment letters to the new appointees will be handed over at 45 locations across the country (except Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh),” the statement said.
In addition to the categories of posts filled earlier, posts of teachers, lecturers, nurses, nursing officers, doctors, pharmacists, Radiographers and other technical and paramedical posts are also being filled. A significant number of posts are being filled by the Ministry of Home Affairs in various Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF).
