Prime Minister Narendra Modi today said that employment fairs have become a medium for fulfilling the dreams of the youth of the country. The Prime Minister said this in a video message at the 17th National Rozgar Mela in New Delhi. During the event, appointment letters to more than 51 thousand to newly recruited youth in various Government departments and organisations are being distributed under the Rozgar Mela initiative. Mr Modi said, through these employment fairs alone, more than 11 lakh appointment letters have been given to young people in the past some time. The Prime Minister also launched the ‘Viksit Bharat Yojana’ in the country, which aims to provide jobs to 3.5 crore youth.

 

 

Mr. Modi underscored that for the past 11 years, the country has been moving forward with the resolve to build a Viksit Bharat, and the youth have played the most significant role in this. He also asserted that empowering youth is a priority of the BJP-NDA government. Mr Modi underlined that campaigns like the Steel India Mission provide skill training to the youth, while initiatives such as the National Career Service platform are connecting them with new opportunities. He added that through this platform alone, information of more than 7 crore vacancies has already been shared with the youth. Mr Modi also highlighted the Pratibha Setu portal as another major step for the youth.

 

 

Prime Minister Modi also said that the government considers the strength of India’s youth as the greatest power of the nation. He also asserted that India’s foreign policy is being shaped keeping the country’s youth in mind. The Prime Minister stressed that India’s diplomatic talks and global MoUs also include provisions for youth training, upskilling, and employment generation. More than 11 lakh such letters have been issued since the initiative began in October 2022.
