PM exhorts new recruits to contribute to nation building
The Prime Minister addressed 51,000 new recruits at the 16th Rozgar Mela, organised simultaneously at 47 locations across the country, in virtual mode on Saturday.
In Visakhapatnam, the programme was organised at the Sagarmala Conventions of Visakhapatnam Port Authority.
'Irrespective of your post and department, you should strive to live up to the expectations of the citizens by attending to their needs,' Mr. Modi told the recruits and congratulated them.
He spoke at length on the welfare schemes launched by the Central government, which were intended to generate indirect employment in various sectors apart from safeguarding the interests of the beneficiaries for whom they were meant.
Earlier in the day, Union Minister of Civil Aviation K. Ram Mohan Naidu, who participated in the Rozgar Mela from Visakhapatnam, urged the new recruits for the Railways, India Post, and other Central government organisations to work with dedication and commitment.
He called upon the 52 recruits from Visakhapatnam to work with dedication in the roles assigned to them. 'Getting a government job should not be the end goal. One should aim to go higher. You should also contribute to the growth of the nation, thereby contributing to the Prime Minister's vision of Viksit Bharat,' Mr. Ram Mohan Naidu.
Visakhapatnam North MLA P. Vishnu Kumar Raju and Divisional Railway Manager (Waltair) Lalit Bohra also spoke. Later, the Union Minister and other dignitaries handed over the appointment letters to the new recruits in Visakhapatnam.

PM-eBus Sewa scheme: Min urges Centre to give subsidies to states
Mangaluru: The central govt should provide direct subsidies to state govts to procure electric buses under the PM e-Bus Sewa scheme, instead of allocating them to private operators under the PPP model, said Karnataka transport minister Ramalinga Reddy. He was speaking after inaugurating the new automated driving test track at Kamblapadavu in Pajir village, Ullal taluk, on Sunday. The procurement and operation of electric buses was easy during the UPA regime. While the central govt was providing 50% of the fund, the state and its transport corporations had to invest 25% each to operate buses. Now, under the NDA regime, buses are not given directly to states but instead procured through tenders, and the subsidy goes to the participating bidders. They will own the buses, hire drivers, and also maintain the vehicles while the state corporations have to appoint conductors and pay the operators on a kilometre basis. The minister suggested that the central govt should directly pay the subsidy to the state transport corporations across the nation. He added that a discussion in this regard was held with Union minister HK Kumaraswamy too. On 100 electric buses sanctioned to Mangaluru under the PM-eBus Sewa Scheme, the minister said the depot and terminal will be developed soon after land was identified. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Invertir con Cervecería Nacional CFD, si tienes 30 o más, puede alegrar tu cuenta bancaria Empieza a invertir hoy Más información Undo On the new automated driving test track, Reddy said Karnataka will have the highest number of automated driving test stations in the country.

Govt has been providing automated driving test tracks at 42 centres covering all districts in the state," he said.

Automated test to begin in 10 days RTO Sridhar K Mallad said the new automated driving test station set up as per the guidelines of the central govt will replace the manual inspections. "Further, it will increase efficiency while preventing corruption and interference of middlemen. There are separate automated driving test tracks for two-wheelers, light motor vehicles, and heavy vehicles," he said. "The manual facility at Vamanjoor will be shifted to the new facility at Kamblapadavu within a few days. The new automated driving test track will be made operational within 10 days after the services are linked to the NIC. Once the linking process is completed, applicants will have to apply and book slots for tests online," he said.
