Rozgar Mela: A Step Towards Employment Generation

New Delhi, July 12: On Saturday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi virtually handed out more than 51,000 appointment letters to new recruits across various Central government departments during the 16th Rozgar Mela.

This employment initiative took place simultaneously at 47 different locations nationwide.

As per an official announcement, the selected candidates will be joining significant departments such as the Ministry of Railways, Ministry of Home Affairs, Department of Posts, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Department of Financial Services, and Ministry of Labour and Employment, among others.

While addressing the new appointees, PM Modi remarked, "Our initiative to distribute appointment letters to the youth in the Central Government is progressing.

Through these employment drives, lakhs of youth have secured stable positions within the Indian government, contributing significantly to nation-building efforts."

He emphasized the diverse departments where these recruits will serve, underscoring their roles in various national missions.
