“Thousands of youth have been given jobs through the ‘Rozgar Melas’ in Jammu and Kashmir, Ladakh, Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Lakshadweep, Dadra and Nagar Haveli, Daman and Diu and Chandigarh in the last one month. I’m told that on November 24, the Government of Goa and on November 28, the Tripura Government are going to organize similar ‘Rozgar Melas’. This campaign of giving appointment letter to the youth of the country through ‘Rozgar Melas’ will continue relentlessly,” the Prime Minister said.
Modi distributed 71,056 appointment letters to recruits via video conferencing. Physical copies of appointment letters were handed over at 45 locations across the country including Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh.
He said organising ‘Rozgar Mela’ showed the Government was working in mission mode to provide jobs to the youngsters of the country. “This huge Rozgar Mela shows how the Government is working in mission mode to provide jobs,” he said.
The Prime Minister said that despite the global pandemic and crises triggered by the war, experts around the world were optimistic about India’s growth trajectory.
“As per the experts, India has become a major force in the services sector and soon it will be the manufacturing hub of the world too,” he added.
He said the possibility of new jobs in both the Government and private sectors is continuously increasing. More importantly, these opportunities are emerging for the youth in their own cities and villages. This has reduced the compulsion of migration for the youth and they are able to play their role in the development of their area, he added.
Modi also launched the Karmayogi Prarambh module.
The module is an online orientation course for all new appointees in various Government departments. It will include a code of conduct for government servants, workplace ethics and integrity, human resource policies and other benefits and allowances that will help them to get acclimatised to policies and transition smoothly into the new roles.
