Youth is finding such sectors which did not even exist ten years ago," the Prime Minister said.Giving examples of startups and Indian youth's enthusiasm, the Prime Minister referred to a report that said that startups have created more than 40 lakh direct or indirect jobs.He also mentioned drones and the sports sector as new avenues of employment.The Prime Minister said "The thinking and approach of Aatmnirbhar Bharat Abhiyan go beyond adopting swadeshi and 'vocal for local'.

Technology and raw materials for these coaches have created thousands of jobs in India.Giving the example of India's toy industry, the Prime Minister pointed out that the children of India only played with imported toys for decades.He also stated that the toys were neither of good quality nor were they designed while keeping Indian children in mind.PM Modi informed that the government laid the benchmark for the quality parameters of imported toys and also started promoting the indigenous toy industry.As a result, the Prime Minister added that the face of the toy industry in India completely transformed and also played a key role in creating numerous job opportunities.Countering the prevalent decade-old mindset that defence equipment in India could only be imported, the Prime Minister highlighted that the government changed this approach by trusting indigenous manufacturers which resulted in the armed forces creating a list of more than 300 equipment and weapons that would only be made in India.He informed that Rs 15,000 crores worth of defence equipment is being exported all around the world.PM Modi also mentioned the strides made in the field of mobile phone manufacturing in the last few years.He said that by encouraging local manufacturing and providing incentives for that, India saved a lot of foreign exchange as India is now exporting mobile handsets along with meeting the local demand.The Prime Minister also highlighted the role of investment in infrastructure in employment generation.He said that emphasis on capital expenditure is creating infrastructure like roads, railways, ports and buildings.Highlighting the employment potential of infrastructure, the Prime Minister informed that during the tenure of the present government capital expenditure has grown four-fold.Giving the example of the developments before and after 2014, the Prime Minister mentioned Indian Railway and pointed out that in the past seven decades before 2014, merely 20,000 kilometres of electrification of railway tracks took place, whereas 40,000 kilometres of rail lines have been electrified in the last 9 years.He also informed that the laying of metro rail lines increased from 600 meters per month before 2014, to 6 kilometres per month today.He further added that the gas network was limited to less than 70 districts in the country before 2014, whereas today this number has gone up to 630 districts.Speaking about the length of roads in rural areas, the Prime Minister noted that it saw an increase from 4 lakh kilometres to 7 lakh kilometres after 2014."When roads reach the villages, it leads to rapid employment generation in the entire ecosystem", he added.Speaking about the aviation sector, PM Modi informed that the number of airports has grown from 74 in 2014 to 148 today.He also pointed to the employment potential of airport operations and also mentioned the record order for aircraft by Air India and similar plans of some other compes.The Port sector is also witnessing similar progress, he said, as cargo handling has doubled compared to the past and time has been cut down to half. These developments are creating a large number of jobs.Shifting to the health sector, PM Modi said that while there were less than 400 medical colleges in the country before 2014, today there are 660 medical colleges.Similarly, undergraduate medical seats have grown to more than 1 lakh from 50 thousand in 2014 and more than double the number of doctors graduating today.In the rural areas, the Prime Minister continued, FPOs and SHGs are getting assistance worth lakhs of crore, storage capacity is being enhanced, more than 3 lakh common service centres have been created after 2014, more than 6 lakh kilometres optical fibre has been laid villages, more than 2.5 crore houses of the 3 crore houses under PMAY have been constructed in villages, more than 10 crore toilets, more than 1.5 lakh wellness centres and mechzation have increased in the agriculture sector."All this has created massive employment opportunities", he said.PM Modi also touched upon growing entrepreneurship and hand-holding of small industries.He mentioned Pradhanmantri Mudra Yojna which recently completed 8 years. More than Rs 23 lakh crore worth of bank guarantee-free loans have been disbursed under the scheme and more than 70 per cent of beneficiaries are women."This scheme has created 8 crores, of new entrepreneurs. These are the people who have started their business for the first time with the help of Mudra Yojana," he said.He also highlighted the power of micro-finance in energizing the economy at the grassroots level.Directing his address to those who have received their appointment letters today, the Prime Minister remarked that this is the opportunity to contribute to the development of the country while the nation moves ahead with the goal of becoming a developed India by 2047."Today you are starting your journey as a Government Servant. In this journey, one should always remember those things which you used to feel as an ordinary citizen," PM Modi said.Noting the expectations of the new appointees from the government, the Prime Minister highlighted that it is now their responsibility to fulfil the expectations of others."Each one of you will affect the life of a common man through your work in one way or the other", he added.The Prime Minister emphasized that efforts should be made to create a positive impact on the work and improve the lives of the common man.Concluding the address, the Prime Minister urged the new appointees to not pause their learning process and said that the nature of knowing or learning something new is reflected in both work and personality.He also advised them to upgrade their skills by joining the online learning platform iGoT Karmayogi.Meanwhile, Union Minister Sarbananda Sonowal said, "Today is a historic moment when we made another step forward towards empowering our youth in the cause of nation-building under the dynamic leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. On this occasion, I extend my heartiest congratulations to every one of the 71,000 employees who have joined today. Under the able leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, I am confident that each one of you will join forces towards nation-building in this Amrit Kaal towards an Atmrbhar Bharat."At the Rozgar Mela held at Maligaon here, as many as 207 employees received appointment letters on Thursday.The new recruits selected from across the country will join various positions/posts under the Government of India such as Train Manager, Station Master, Sr. commercial cum Ticket Clerk, Inspector, Sub Inspectors, Constable, Stenographer, Junior Accountant, Postal Assistant, Income Tax Inspector, Tax Assistant, Sr Draughtsman, JE/Supervisor, Assistant Professor, Teacher, Librarian, Nurse, Probationary Officers, PA, MTS, among others.The newly inducted appointees will also be able to train themselves through Karmayogi and Prarambh, an online orientation course for all new appointees in various Government departments.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
