New Delhi, July 22: More than 70,000 appointment letters were distributed by the Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, to newly hired employees on Saturday via video conferencing.
In his remarks to the newly appointed officials, the prime minister stated, “During the ‘Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav’, when the country is working on the path of development, it is a great honour to get the opportunity to work as a government employee. The people of this country have taken the resolution to make India a developed country.”
He stated that India’s next 25 years are crucial.
“Today every expert is saying that in a few years, India will be in the world’s top three economies. This means employment opportunities and citizen’s per capita income will increase,” PM Modi added.
PM Modi attacked the previous government, claiming that during their tenure, the financial industry suffered significant damage.
“Today India is one of those countries where the banking sector is considered to be the strongest but this was not the situation 9 years ago… Our banking sector has seen massive destruction during the previous govt. Today, we are able to make digital transactions but 9 years ago, phone banking was not for 140 crore people. People who were close to a specific family used to call Banks and provided them loans worth thousands of crores and these loans were never repaid. This ‘phone banking scam’ was one of the biggest scams during the previous govt,” PM Modi added.
There were 44 places around the nation where the Rozgar Mela was hosted. Recruitment efforts are being conducted by Central Government Departments, State Governments, and UTs that are supporting this initiative.
The new hires, who were chosen from across the nation, will join the government in a number of Ministries/Departments, including the Department of Revenue, Department of Financial Services, Department of Posts, Department of School Education, Department of Higher Education, Ministry of Defence, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Ministry of Central Public Sector Undertakings, Department of Water Resources, Department of Personnel & Training and Ministry of Home Affairs, among others.
The Rozgar Mela is a step in the direction of the Prime Minister’s promise to give employment generation the highest priority.
“The Rozgar Mela is expected to act as a catalyst in further employment generation and provide meaningful opportunities to the youth for their empowerment and participation in national development,” a statement from PMO said on Friday.
The first phase of the “Rozgar Mela,” which was launched by Prime Minister Modi on October 22 of last year, signalled the start of the initiative to create 10 lakh government jobs.
