PM at Rozgar Mela: Govt boosted jobs in traditional, emerging sectors

Modi stressed that the government doesn’t only provide employment but also maintains a transparent recruitment process and efforts have been made to restructure and streamline the examination procedure.

He noted that lakhs of youngsters have been given appointment letters so far in the ‘Rozgar Mela’ being organised since October last year by his government and the states ruled by the BJP and its allies.

“Today, India is equipping its youths with skills and education to harness emerging opportunities. India’s trajectory and the pace of its progress are generating new employment prospects across all sectors,” he said.

The prime minister said the time taken for recruitment by the Staff Selection Commission has been reduced to almost half.

Exams are now being conducted in 13 different regional languages apart from Hindi and English to help the language barrier for those affected, he said.

He also spoke about the recent recognition by UN bodies to several Indian places as tourism and heritage sites. Modi said a boost in tourism has added to employment sources and a similar trend was being seen in sports as the sector grows.
