Prime Minister Narendra Modi distributed around 70,000 appointment letters to newly inducted recruits under the government's Rozgar Mela initiative on Tuesday. While addressing the event virtually, he congratulated the candidates and their family members for the achievement.
The Rozgar Mela is currently going on at 43 locations across the country. In support of this initiative, recruitments are taking place across central government departments as well as state governments/UTs.
The new recruits have been appointed from across the country.
As per PMO, they will be joining various government departments including the Department of Financial Services, Department of Posts, Department of School Education, Department of Higher Education, Ministry of Defence,
Department of Revenue, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Department of Atomic Energy, Ministry of Railways, Department of Audit and Accounts, Department of Atomic Energy and Ministry of Home Affairs, among others.
"Today, India has a decisive government and political stability. Political corruption, discrepancies in govt schemes and misuse of public money were synonymous with previous governments," PM Modi said.
In his remarks, Modi said the Rozgar Mela has become the new identity of the BJP and NDA governments. The Prime Minister hit out at "dynastic" political parties for promoting "nepotism and corruption" in recruitment to government jobs and said while such parties "looted" youth with their "rate cards" for various posts, his government was working to "safeguard" their bright future.
