‘Invitation to nation building’: PM Modi distributes 61,000 appointment letters at 18th Rozgar Mela

Prime Minister Narendra Modi Saturday handed over appointment letters to 61,000 newly recruited youth at the 18th Rozgar Mela, held in New Delhi.

“It was today when the Constitution recognised Jana Gana Man as the national anthem and Vande Mataram as the national song. Today, on this auspicious day, more than 61 thousand young people are getting appointment letters. In one way it is a letter of invitation for nation building. This is a ‘sankalp patra’ to accelerate India to new heights. You all, along with your colleagues, will make our country’s defence better and also strengthen our healthcare and education system, while others will strengthen energy security,” PM Modi said.

Congratulating the newly recruited youth, Modi said that giving employment opportunities to them has been his government’s top priority.

“In an effort to put government jobs in “mission mode”, the Rozgar Mela was started. In the past few years, Rozgar Mela has become an institution through which lakhs of youth have gotten appointment letters across various government departments. Utilising this mission itself, there are more than 40 places across different states where Rozgar Mela is being held. I welcome the youth present today,” he said.

The PM further stated that his government is continuously working to ensure that more opportunities are made for India’s youth power, highlighting multiple trade agreements with several countries.

“Today, India is one of the youngest countries in the world. Our government is continuously working to ensure that more opportunities are made for India’s youth power. On that, India is making trade and mobility agreements with multiple countries,” PM Modi highlighted.

These trade agreements, the PM said, will bring in new opportunities for the youth of India. “In the last few years, a lot of resources have been put into making world-class infrastructure. In this, a lot of jobs have increased in any sector connected to construction. India’s startup ecosystem is also progressing forward at a great speed.”

The Prime Minister also highlighted the growth of startups in India. He claimed that more than 21 lakh youth are employed across the startup ecosystem, with Digital India propping up a new kind of economy.
