For the past many months, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been holding Rogzgar Mela every month and distributing virtually around 70,000 appointment letters among the youth in each Mela.

“Jammu and Kashmir has also been beneficiary of Rozgar Melas as a number of local youth have got appointment letters in almost every Mela. In addition, J&K hosted on exclusive Rozgar Mela which was also addressed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi virtually to distribute the letters,” the sources said.
Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha had recently stated that recruitment process in UT Government departments will be expedited from this month and many vacancies will be filled.
The Rozgar Mela is a step towards fulfillment of the commitment of the Prime Minister to accord highest priority to employment generation.
