NEW DELHI: The Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the Rozgar Mela and distributed more than 71,000 appointment letters to newly appointed youth in Government departments and organizations via videoconferencing today. Rozgar Mela highlights the Prime Minister’s commitment to prioritizing employment generation. It will empower the youth by providing them with meaningful opportunities to contribute to nation-building and self empowerment.
Addressing the gathering, the Prime Minister stated that he had returned from Kuwait late last night, where he had extensive discussions with Indian youth and professionals. And this is a very pleasant coincidence that after returning, his first program is with the youth of the country.
“Today marks a new beginning for thousands of youth in the country. Your years of dreams have come true, years of hard work have paid off. This outgoing year of 2024 is bringing new happiness to you. I extend my heartfelt congratulations to all of you and your families”, the Prime Minister said.
The Prime Minister emphasised that the government is prioritizing the full utilization of India’s youth talent through initiatives like Rozgar Melas. Over the past 10 years, there has been a concerted effort to provide government jobs across various ministries and departments.
Today more than 71,000 youth have been handed their appointment letters, the Prime Minister highlighted. Shri Modi underlined that in the last one and a half years, around 10 lakh permanent government jobs have been offered, setting a remarkable record.
These jobs are being provided with complete transparency, and the new recruits are serving the nation with dedication and integrity.
The Prime Minister underscored that the development of a country relies on the hard work, capability, and leadership of its youth. India is committed to becoming a developed nation by 2047 as the country’s policies and decisions focus on empowering its talented youth.
He said over the past decade, initiatives such as Make in India, Atmanirbhar Bharat, Startup India, Stand-Up India, and Digital India have placed youth at the forefront.
PM Modi noted that India is now the world’s fifth-largest economy and the third-largest startup ecosystem. Today, Indian youth are brimming with new confidence. They are excelling in every sector. Young entrepreneurs launching startups today benefit from a robust support system.
Similarly, youth pursuing careers in sports have confidence that they will not fail because they now are supported by modern training facilities and tournaments.
The Prime Minister noted that the country is undergoing a transformation across various sectors, becoming the second-largest in mobile manufacturing. India is also making strides in renewable energy, organic farming, space, defense, tourism, and wellness, creating new opportunities and reaching new heights in each area.
