He noted that the Azadi Ka Amrit Kaal has only begun and this is a very significant moment for those who are joining government service as they have the opportunity to contribute towards making India a developed country in the next 25 years. “Along with the present, you must give everything for the future of the country”, PM said congratulating the newly inducted recruits and their family members. 

He also talked about the emerging opportunities for employment and self-employment in the economy. He mentioned measures like Mudra Scheme, Startup India, Stand Up India.

They have reduced the time cycle of recruitment from 1-2 years to a few months, he said. 

PM Modi said, the entire world has now trust in India and its economy, as the country is taking its economy to new heights amid myriad of challenges including the economic recession, the global pandemic and the disruption in the supply chain due to the ongoing war.

Foreign investments made in the country give rise to production, expansion and setup of new industries, and boost exports, thereby giving a boost to employment opportunities at a very fast pace. 

PM Modi also highlighted the policies of the present government that have created lakhs of employment opportunities in the private sector. He mentioned the growth of the automobile sector, adding that the growth of this sector can be witnessed by the growing export of passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles and three and two-wheelers to various countries. 

The automotive industry which was worth 5 lakh crores ten years ago, stands at more than 12 lakh crores today. The PLI scheme is also helping the automotive industry a lot, creating numerous employment opportunities for lakhs of youth in India.  

He emphaised that India is a more stable, safe and strong country. PM Modi reiterated that India has made huge investments in its physical and social infrastructure. Talking about the social infrastructure, he gave an example of ensuring the availability of safe drinking water through the Jal Jeevan Mission. 

PM said that about four lakh crore rupees have been spent on Jal Jeevan Mission. From its inception when, on average, 15 out of 100 rural habitats had piped water, now the number has risen to 62 out of every 100 households. And the work is going on at a rapid pace. There are 130 districts with full coverage of piped water for every household.

He underlined that the government systems and the way government employees work are changing rapidly in today's fast-moving India. He recalled the time when common citizens of the country used to visit government offices whereas today, the government is reaching the homes of the citizens by taking its services to the doorstep.

In the end, PM Modi also exhorted that the recruits must work with full sensitivity towards the citizens of the country, as they need to take these reforms further. 

The Rozgar Mela is a step towards the fulfillment of PM’s commitment to accord the highest priority to employment generation. The Rozgar Mela is expected to act as a catalyst in furthering employment generation and providing meaningful opportunities to the youth for their empowerment and participation in national development.
