Paswan Thanks BSF for Organisation

The Union Minister also thanked the Border Security Force (BSF) officers for organising the Rozgar mela programme. "It undoubtedly brings happiness and satisfaction. But today, it was also a matter of great fortune and pride for me to be present here at the BSF centre and witness the successful organisation of this event by the BSF. I especially thank all the BSF officers, particularly the IG, who organised this program," added Paswan.

A National Initiative for Nation Building

The 18th Rozgar Mela is part of a national-level initiative by the Government of India, which aims to provide employment opportunities to youth across various ministries and departments. Held across 45 locations, the event saw Prime Minister Narendra Modi distribute over 61,000 appointment letters to newly recruited candidates. Addressing the programme virtually, the Prime Minister said the appointment letters were an "invitation to nation building" and reminded the youth of their duty towards the Constitution.

Along with Jammu, the event was held in Panchkula, Haryana, too, where Union Minister Manohar Lal Khattar declared that the government remains committed to supporting the youth in every respect. "... Rozgar Mela has been organised here today to help the youth in securing employment. Our government is committed to supporting the youth in every aspect, be it education, skill development, or their overall growth and welfare..." Khattar told reporters. (ANI)
