Rozgar Mela 2024: PM Modi To Distribute 71,000 Appointment Letters Across India

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will distribute over 71,000 appointment letters to newly appointed recruits through video conferencing, the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) announced on Sunday, according to a Hindustan Times (HT) report.

This event is part of the Rozgar Mela initiative, which aligns with the Prime Minister's commitment to prioritising employment generation. During the event, PM Modi will also address the gathering, emphasising the importance of providing meaningful opportunities for youth to contribute to nation-building and empower themselves.

Rozgar Mela will be held at 45 locations across the country, with recruits being selected for various Ministries and Departments of the Central Government. New appointees will join key sectors, including the Ministry of Home Affairs, Department of Posts, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, and Department of Financial Services.

The Rozgar Mela is a step towards fulfilling the Government's aim of improving employment opportunities for the youth. Filling vacant posts in Ministries and Departments is an ongoing process, with recruitment being done in a mission mode. The Government is also coordinating with state governments for conducting state-level Rozgar Mela events and related initiatives.

Employment generation and enhancing the employability of youth are top priorities for the Government. To support this, the Government launched the Aatmanirbhar Bharat package, offering fiscal stimulus through various long-term schemes and policies to boost business opportunities and employment.

In addition, the Government has introduced several initiatives to support employment and self-employment, including the Aatmanirbhar Bharat Rojgar Yojana (ABRY), Production Linked Incentive (PLI) schemes, PM GatiShakti, Pradhan Mantri Mudra Yojana (PMMY), and the Prime Minister Street Vendor's AtmaNirbhar Nidhi (PM SVANidhi Scheme). These efforts, together with flagship programmes like Make in India, Digital India, and Smart City Mission, aim to create wide-ranging employment opportunities.
