India's action will shake Pak to its core: Bandi
Hyderabad: He warned that those who use guns will ultimately fall victim to them. He affirmed that the Narendra Modi government is committed to eradicating terrorism and is preparing to take strong measures that will profoundly impact Pakistan. He also announced that the Modi government is poised to make tough decisions in this regard and called upon the entire nation to stand in support. Speaking at the 'Rozgar Mela' event held here on Saturday, he said, Prime Minister Narendra Modi holds the Rozgar Mela in high regard. He is a leader who has kept his promise of providing 10 lakh jobs. The Rozgar Mela, 'which began on October 22, 2022, is still ongoing. To date, 14 Rozgar Melas have been conducted, resulting in the filling of 925,000 jobs. With Saturday's 15th Rozgar Mela, over 51,000 jobs are being filled across the country, bringing the total close to the 10 lakh mark.' Fulfilling such a significant number of jobs within a specified timeframe without any room for corruption or error is no small achievement, and the Modi government deserves credit for this. He said that when vacancies exist in government departments, the workload increases for existing employees, making it challenging to offer services in remote areas. In response, under PM Modi's leadership, vacancies in various departments are being filled promptly. 'No previous government has regularly filled vacant positions like this—this distinction belongs to Modi. Currently, the Rozgar Mela is taking place at 47 centers across the country, with appointment letters being issued to 51,000 candidates.' Approximately 700 candidates are receiving appointment letters from the MCHRD center, and 'I am pleased to personally hand over letters to 100 of them. Congratulations to all the candidates and their families receiving appointment letters today,' he added.

'Today, new responsibilities of you youth have begun in different departments of the Government of India.

The PM noted that the International Monetary Fund has said India will remain the fastest-growing major economy, asserting that employment opportunities will be rising in every sector. The production and export in automobile and footwear industries have hit new records, generating employment in large numbers, Modi said. 'The Manufacturing Mission announced in this budget, aims at promoting the 'Make in India' initiative and providing India's youth with opportunities to create globally standardized products. This initiative will not only support millions of MSMEs and small entrepreneurs across the country but will also open up new employment opportunities nationwide,' said the Prime Minister, adding that this was an unprecedented time of opportunities for India's youth. He pointed out that initiatives like Skill India, Startup India, and Digital India were creating new opportunities for the youth. Through these campaigns, the PM said, the government is providing an open platform for India's youth to showcase their talents and has propelled the nation to the forefront in the fields of technology, data, and innovation. He highlighted the success of digital platforms like UPI, ONDC, and GeM (Government e-Marketplace), which demonstrate how the youth are leading transformative changes in the digital economy. He further remarked that India now leads the world in real-time digital transactions, and a significant share of this achievement is credited to the youth. Citing the difference his government has made, the Prime Minister listed out that cargo being handled through Inland Water Transport has surged to 145 million tonnes from 18 million tonnes before 2014 while national waterways have increased from five to 110, and their length from 2,700 km to over 5,000 km. He said that a big highlight was that growth has been inclusive and noted that the participation of women has risen in every sector. 'Women are reaching new heights in fields ranging from bureaucracy to space and science. Our government is focused on empowering rural women through initiatives like Self-Help Groups, Bima Sakhis, Bank Sakhis, and Krishi Sakhis, which have created new opportunities,' he said. Three of the five toppers in this year's UPSC exam are women, the PM noted, adding that over nine million self-help groups have more than 100 million women working for them. Modi asserted that the World Audio Visual and Entertainment Summit (WAVES), to be held in Mumbai, will also be a big opportunity for youngsters to showcase their skills on a global platform. They will also get to understand Artificial Intelligence and immersive media, and the event will infuse a new energy into the sphere of digital content, he said. 'WAVES 2025 places the nation's youth at its core, providing young creators with such a platform for the first time. For innovators in media, gaming, and entertainment, WAVES is an unprecedented opportunity to showcase their talent,' he said.
