‘Rozgar Mela a step towards empowering youth with jobs’

Haryana Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare Minister Shyam Singh Rana on Friday said that employment generation was the priority of the government and described the Rozgar Mela initiative as an impactful step in empowering India’s youth and contributing to national development.

Speaking as the chief guest at the 16th Rozgar Mela organised by the Northern Railway’s Carriage and Wagon Workshop, Jagadhri (Yamunanagar), under the Centre’s employment initiative, Rana handed over appointment letters to 30 newly recruited candidates selected in departments such as Railways, Higher Education (Kurukshetra), Postal Department and the Ministry of Home Affairs.

The Rozgar Mela was held simultaneously in 47 cities across the country, during which Prime Minister Narendra Modi virtually addressed the youth and handed over appointment letters to 51,000 new recruits.

Rana congratulated the selected candidates and said that those who had received these letters had not only secured jobs but also a chance to contribute to the nation’s progress.

He stressed the importance of public service with dedication and honesty in the world’s largest democracy.

“India is on the path to becoming the third-largest global power, and lakhs of youth have already received jobs without bribery or recommendation,” said Rana, highlighting the government’s clean recruitment efforts.

He added that thanks to Prime Minister Modi’s leadership and vision, India was exporting goods across the world and gaining global recognition.Also speaking on the occasion, former Haryana Agriculture Minister Kanwar Pal Gujjar congratulated the youth and said both Central and state governments had rooted out corruption from the system and ensured merit-based employment.

“India is a country of youth, and they are playing a vital role in driving the economy and leading social transformation,” he said, describing the youth as a powerful force for change.

Yamunanagar MLA Ghanshyam Das Arora, Carriage and Wagon Workshop, Jagadhri’s Chief Workshop Manager Jay Prakash, BJP District President Rajesh Sapra, former MLA Ishwar Singh Palaka and several officials, public representatives and newly appointed youth were present at the event.
