Union Minister for Agriculture & Farmers’ Welfare and Rural Development Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Saturday called Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s tenure a ‘golden era’ for employment in India. He made the remarks while distributing appointment letters to successful candidates at the Pradhan Mantri Rozgar Mela held in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh.
The nationwide employment drive saw over 51,000 youth across the country receiving appointment letters for government jobs. PM Modi also addressed the event virtually.
Speaking at the event, Chouhan said, “Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision is a blessing for India. Under his leadership, we are on a grand mission to build a ‘Viksit Bharat’. There’s tremendous work happening across all sectors. In terms of employment, Prime Minister Modi’s current tenure is a golden era, as over 25 crore people have risen above the poverty line. He has uprooted poverty from its roots.”
“Speaking of direct government jobs – more than 10 lakh youth have already been provided with employment”, he added.
Chouhan emphasized that more than 51,200 youth have been appointed to various departments on Saturday, including the Railways, through a fully transparent, merit-based process.
Congratulating the newly appointed candidates, he said their employment marks not only personal success but also their role in building a ‘Viksit Bharat’. He also thanked PM Modi for his visionary leadership and continued commitment to youth empowerment.
