Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday (July 22) distributed over 70,000 appointment letters to recently recruited individuals via video conferencing.

PM Modi emphasized the honour of working as a government employee during this period of national development and progress. The Prime Minister highlighted the collective determination of the nation to transform India into a developed country, and he stressed the critical importance of the next 25 years for the country's future.

"Today every expert is saying that in a few years, India will be in the world's top three economies. This means employment opportunities and citizen's per capita income will increase," PM Modi said. Lashing out at the previous government, PM Modi said during their rule the banking sector witnessed massive destruction.

"Today India is one of those countries where the banking sector is considered to be the strongest, but this was not the situation 9 years ago... Our banking sector has seen massive destruction during the previous govt," PM Modi said.

"Today, we are able to make digital transactions but 9 years ago, phone banking was not for 140 crore people. People who were close to a specific family used to call Banks and provided them loans worth thousands of crores and these loans were never repaid. This 'phone banking scam' was one of the biggest scams during the previous govt," the prime minister further said.

The nationwide Rozgar Mela was held at 44 locations, facilitating recruitments in central governments and state governments/UTs.

The newly selected recruits will be joining various Ministries and Departments, including Revenue, Financial Services, Posts, School Education, Higher Education, Defence, Health and Family Welfare, Central Public Sector Undertakings, Water Resources, Personnel & Training, and Home Affairs, among others.

PM Modi initiated the 'Rozgar Mela' campaign on October 22 last year, with the aim of providing 10 lakh government jobs, marking the commencement of the first phase.
