In major push to create employment for youths, the Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday distributed 71,000 appointment letters to new recruits as part of the 5th nation-wide Rozgar Mela through video conference.
The Mela was held at 45 locations across the country. The recruitments are taking place for Central government departments as well as state governments/UTs supporting this initiative of the union government.
Addressing after inaugurating 5th Rozgar Mela, PM Modi conveyed his best wishes to all the inducted recruits and their families. He recalled recent Rozgar Melas in states such as Gujarat and the upcoming Mela in Assam. He said these Melas at the center and BJP-ruled states, show the government’s commitment towards the youth.
In the last 9 years, the Prime Minister emphasized that the government has prioritized the recruitment process by making it faster, transparent and unbiased. Recalling the difficulties faced in the recruitment process, the Prime Minister pointed out that the Staff Selection Board took roughly 15-18 months to onboard the new recruits whereas today it takes only 6-8 months.
He underlined that the tedious process of recruitment which existed earlier starting from acquiring the application form to submitting it via post has now been simplified by making it online where a provision for self-attestation of documents has also been introduced. The Prime Minister also added that interviews for Group C and Group D have also been abolished. The Prime Minister said that the biggest benefit of this is the extermination of nepotism from the entire process.
