It will be held at 45 locations around the country. The recruitments are taking place for various central government ministries and departments.
The recruits, selected from around the country, will join various ministries/departments, including the Union Ministry of Home Affairs, Department of Posts, Department of Higher Education, Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare and the Department of Financial Services, among others, the PMO said.
The Rozgar Mela will provide meaningful opportunities to youngsters for their participation in nation-building and self-empowerment. The program is aimed at creating adequate jobs for the millions of unemployed Indian youth.
More than 50 percent of India’s population falls between the prime working age of 18-35, of which majority are still finding it incredibly difficult to navigate the pathway to securing a job in the thin Indian job market.
Millions of well-qualified, highly-talented youth with degrees in tech, engineering, and data science from reputable colleges in India are struggling immensely to find decent jobs in the country.
In response, Prime Minster Narendra Modi had hinted at a mass employment drive upon being reinstated as the Indian Prime Minister. The Rozgar Mela is the first act of Modi’s intentions, while many such initiatives could be expected in the years to come.
The newly elected BJP government carries the heavy burden of creating sufficient jobs for the millions of young Indians inching to make headway into the modern job market. Ensuring the employment of the Indian youth will help foster the growth of the Indian economy that seeks to become the third-largest economy by the end of this decade.
