New Delhi: Noting that India is among the youngest nations in the world, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday said his government is entering into trade and mobility agreements with various countries to create new opportunities for youth both within India and abroad.
Virtually handing over more than 61,000 appointment letters for government jobs at the 18th edition of the Rozgar Mela, the Prime Minister urged the new appointees to view their appointments as an invitation to join nation building and a pledge to work for creating a developed India.
"India is signing trade and mobility agreements with several countries. These trade agreements are bringing new opportunities for the youth of the nation," Modi said.
Addressing the event held simultaneously at 45 locations across the country via video conferencing, Modi asked the youth to work with the motto "Nagrik Devo Bhava" (citizen is akin to God) while discharging their duties. He said India has embarked on a “reform express” aimed at making life and business easier.
He asked the youth to recall their experiences at government offices in previous years and urged them to resolve to not let such hardships affect citizens during their tenure.
The Prime Minister said, in recent times, the government has made unprecedented investments in modern infrastructure, leading to increased employment across construction-related sectors. He said that India's startup ecosystem was expanding rapidly, with nearly two lakh registered startups employing over 21 lakh youth.
Modi said "Digital India" has expanded a new economy, with India emerging as a global hub in animation, digital media, and several other sectors.
The Prime Minister said that next-generation reforms in GST have benefited youth entrepreneurs and MSMEs, while historic labour reforms have strengthened social security for workers and employees, benefiting businesses as well. The PM stressed that the new labour codes have expanded and empowered the scope of social security.
A PMO statement said the Rozgar Mela is a key initiative aimed at translating this vision into action in line with the prime minister's commitment to accord the highest priority to employment generation.
Since its inception, more than 11 lakh recruitment letters have been issued through Rozgar Melas organised across the country, it said.
The new appointees will be serving in the ministries of home affairs, health and family welfare, department of financial services, higher education, among others.
