PM Modi distributes 51,000 job letters at Rozgar Mela
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday virtually distributed appointment letters for central government jobs to more than 51,000 youths at a Rozgar Mela event held across 47 locations in India. The recruits will join ministries and departments including railways, home affairs, health, education, and defence.
Since the first Rozgar Mela, around 12 lakh appointment letters have been issued through 18 such events. In his address, Modi said the new appointees are becoming key partners in the country's development journey and will play an important role in building a developed India.
Officials said the initiative reflects the government's commitment to prioritising employment generation. The appointees were selected from across the country and will take up positions in banking, defence, higher education and other sectors.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The Rozgar Mela is one of several government initiatives to showcase job creation before elections, complementing schemes like the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) and the Prime Minister's Employment Generation Programme (PMEGP). However, official data from the Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy (CMIE) shows the unemployment rate has remained above 7% for most of the past year, with youth unemployment particularly high. The 12 lakh jobs distributed over 18 events amount to roughly 66,000 per event, a small fraction of the nearly 10 million young people entering the workforce annually. The next election cycle will test whether such direct recruitment events are seen as substantive or symbolic by voters.
