Addressing the appointees on the occasion, PM Modi said, “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 said that the coming 25 years are very crucial for the country.

“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,” the prime minister said.

PM Modi slams previous government

Hitting out at the previous governments, PM Modi said that during their rule the banking sector witnessed massive destruction.

“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 can 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 government,” he added.

PM Modi’s Rozgar Mela has been held at 44 locations across India. The recruitments are taking place across Central Government Departments as well as State Governments and UTs supporting this initiative.

Taking notes from the recruitments, the new recruits, selected from across the country will be joining the Government in various 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, Central Public Sector Undertakings, Department of Water Resources, Department of Personnel & Training and Ministry of Home Affairs, among others.

What’s the aim of Rozgar Mela?

Notably, the Rozgar Mela is a step towards fulfilling the commitment of the Prime Minister to accord the highest priority to employment generation.

In a statement, PMO said, “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.”

Last year, in October, PM Modi launched the first phase of the ‘Rozgar Mela’, marking the beginning of the campaign to provide 10 lakh government jobs.
