NEW DELHI, AHMEDABAD, VADODARA, RAJKOT, CHENNAI, JULY 12
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on July 12 distributed over 51,000 appointment letters to newly recruited candidates in central government departments and ministries, marking the 16th edition of the government’s Rozgar Mela initiative.
The Prime Minister addressed the appointees via video conferencing, congratulating them and urging them to approach their roles with dedication and a spirit of public service. The Rozgar Mela events were held at 47 different locations across the country.
Addressing the appointees at the 16th edition of Rozgar Mela, Prime Minister Modi said, “Today, the world accepts that India has two immense powers – demography and democracy, that is, the largest youth population and the largest democracy. This strength of the youth is both the capital and the guarantee of a bright future for our India. Our government is working to convert this capital into a formula for prosperity.”
The recruits will join roles in ministries such as Railways, Home Affairs, Health and Family Welfare, Labour and Employment, and the Department of Posts, among others. The appointees were selected through a str With this round, the Rozgar Mela has so far issued more than 10 lakh appointment letters since its launch in 2022. The initiative is aimed at accelerating recruitment into government jobs and addressing critical staffing gaps in various departments.
In his remarks, Prime Minister Modi reiterated the government’s commitment to giving employment generation the highest priority, and described the Rozgar Mela as a platform to empower India’s youth and strengthen public institutions.
“This is not merely a job offer. It is a responsibility, and a chance to contribute to nation-building,” he said.
Officials added that the newly recruited personnel will undergo induction and training programmes to help them adapt to their roles. The government also highlighted how the Rozgar Mela has helped make hiring more efficient, transparent, and regionally inclusive.
Going forward, the government is expected to continue holding Rozgar Mela events regularly, aiming to fill more vacancies and bring young professionals into the fold of public service.
The Rozgar Mela does not create or offer new jobs — it is primarily a platform where the government formally distributes appointment letters to candidates who have already been selected through existing recruitment processes.
These appointments are usually to central government departments, public sector units, or defence forces and are part of ongoing recruitment drives. Job fair organized at Vadodara in the presence of Union Minister for Jal Shakti C.R. Patil
