Finance Minister gives appointment letters, says job fair opportunity for Engineering graduates

Nirmala Sitharaman, the Union finance minister, claimed on Saturday that the Center’s “Rozgar Mela” has given everyone a chance, including engineering graduates and those with up to a plus two education. She claimed that by distributing appointment letters to recent hires in a variety of government sectors, the Rozgar Mela, which was held at ICF Chennai, ensured employment opportunities for young people. She commended the new hires and pointed out that many young people had been given appointments in their home states.

Many youngsters got jobs in their place of residence or their native state,” Sitharaman said while interacting with the candidates at the event virtually launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Among the more than 250 individuals who received recruitment letters here were candidates from Jharkhand and Uttar Pradesh. As a mark of appreciation, the Union Finance Minister gave the letters to more than 25 appointees. The Finance Minister issued appointment letters to three candidates, including two inspectors and one tax assistant from the Income Tax Department as well as new hires to the Indian Coast Guard, banks, and other government departments in group A, group B (Gazetted), group B (Non-Gazetted), and group C categories. Nitin Gupta, the chairman of the CBDT, Vivek Johri, the head of the CBIC, and other top officials were present. To attract 10 lakh individuals nationwide, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today declared the “Rozgar Mela” open for business.

He had asked various government departments and ministries in June to recruit people on a “mission mode” in the next year and a half.
