Modi distributed more than 51,000 appointment letters to new recruits in government departments and organisations.

The job fairs, which are being organised in various states and union territories, are "signs of the government's commitment towards the future of the youth" where work is underway in mission mode, he said. "We're not only providing employment but also maintaining a transparent system in place."

Emphasising that India's trajectory and the pace of its progress are generating new employment prospects across all sectors, Modi said, "The government is strengthening the traditional sectors providing employment opportunities while also promoting new sectors such as renewable energy, space, automation and defence exports."
