Union Minister of State for Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare Shobha Karandlaje said the Union Government has given 3.59 lakh jobs to unemployed youth, in various departments and ministries, in the last nine months.
“Since the start of Rozgar Mela (employment fair) in October 2022, the Centre took up the task of filling up the vacancies and generating employment for unemployed youth. The belief is that development is possible if the departments and ministries of the Centre work in full strength to deliver services, and play a crucial part in nation’s development,” said Ms Karandlaje, after inaugurating the Rozgar Mela at the All India Institute of Speech and Hearing (AIISH) in Mysuru on May 16.
She handed over appointment letters to the youth, who have been placed in various Central Government departments. An initiative of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Rozgar Mela is being held in 45 locations, including Mysuru, in India on May 16.
