Lucknow: Prime Minister Narendra Modi distributed appointment letters to more than 51,000 newly recruited candidates through video conferencing during the 19th Rozgar Mela, reaffirming the Government of India’s commitment to employment generation and youth empowerment.
As part of the nationwide initiative, a special programme was organized at the Indira Gandhi Pratishthan in Lucknow, where Union Minister of State for Social Justice and Empowerment and Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution, B.L. Verma, handed over appointment letters to 312 selected candidates, marking the beginning of their careers in government service.
Among the newly appointed candidates in Lucknow, 198 recruits joined the Indian Railways, while the remaining candidates were selected for various central government departments and organizations.
The Rozgar Mela is a flagship initiative aimed at accelerating recruitment across government departments and providing meaningful employment opportunities to young people. The programme reflects the Prime Minister’s vision of making employment generation a key pillar of national development.
Addressing the newly recruited candidates through video conferencing, Prime Minister Modi congratulated them on their success and encouraged them to serve the nation with dedication, integrity, and a sense of responsibility. He emphasized that young government employees have an important role to play in strengthening public service delivery and contributing to India’s growth journey.
Since the launch of the Rozgar Mela initiative, the government has organized 18 employment fairs across the country, through which nearly 1.2 million appointment letters have been distributed to successful candidates in various ministries, departments, and public sector organizations.
The 19th Rozgar Mela was conducted simultaneously at 47 locations across India, bringing together thousands of newly selected candidates from different regions of the country.
The appointees selected through the current recruitment drive will join a wide range of central government ministries and departments, including the Ministry of Railways, Ministry of Home Affairs, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Department of Financial Services, Department of Higher Education, and several other government institutions.
Officials said the initiative not only helps fill vacancies in government departments but also provides a transparent and efficient recruitment process, enabling talented young individuals to contribute to nation-building through public service.
The event witnessed enthusiastic participation from newly recruited candidates and their families, many of whom described the occasion as a significant milestone in their lives. The appointment letters symbolize new opportunities for thousands of young Indians and reinforce the government’s focus on creating employment and strengthening public institutions.
With the continued success of the Rozgar Mela initiative, the government aims to further accelerate recruitment efforts and provide greater opportunities for youth to participate in India’s development and governance framework.
