PM Modi launches Rozgar Mela, releases 71,000 appointment letters to freshers

As part of the government's initiative to boost employment generation opportunities for the youth, Prime Minister Narendra Modi handed over 71,000 appointment letters to newly inducted recruits at the second Rozgar Mela, via- video conferencing on Tuesday.

This is the second time within a month that the PM had organised the Rozgar Mela to release appointment letters to newly-inducted recruits. He had handed over 75,000 such letters at the October 22 Mela.

Rozgar Melas are part of the government's efforts to fast track recruitment of over one million personnel within a year at various levels such as Group-A, Group-B



(Gazetted), Group-B (Non-Gazetted) and Group-C, across 38 departments and ministries.

Speaking at the occasion, the Prime Minister recalled that several Union Territories and states such as Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat and Jammu & Kashmir had organised such Melas in the last one month to provide jobs to the youth.

“Goa and Tripura are also organising similar Rozgar Melas in a few days' time”, he added.

The physical copies of the appointment letters to the new appointees were handed over at 45 locations across the country, except Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh, where the model code of conduct is in place.
