Highlighting employment as a top national priority, the PM unveiled the crucial 'Pratibha Setu Portal' to channel the talent of high-achieving, non-selected UPSC candidates into both public and private sector jobs. He also championed economic initiatives, stating the GST Bachat Utsav is now an 'Employment Festival'. The message to all new recruits: Embrace the spirit of 'Nagarik Devo Bhava' for a developed India.
A New Illumination: 51,000 Appointments Bring 'Double Joy'
Addressing the nation via video conference at the latest Rozgar Mela,today, Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi declared that this year's Diwali has brought a new kind of light-the joy of employment. For the over 51,000 youth who received their permanent appointment letters across the country, the success of a secured job adds a "double dose of joy" to the festive celebrations.
The Prime Minister congratulated the new recruits, emphasizing that their appointments are far more than just government jobs; they are powerful opportunities to actively contribute to nation-building. Urging them to work with integrity and sincerity, he set a clear expectation: these new government employees must internalize the mantra of ‘Nagarik Devo Bhava’ (The Citizen is God) and lead the way in creating better systems for the India of the future.
- 11 Lakh Milestone: Shri Modi underscored the commitment to youth empowerment, noting that over 11 lakh appointment letters have been issued through the Rozgar Melas in recent times.
- Target: 3.5 Crore: He reiterated that the ambition extends beyond the public sector, pointing to the 'PM Viksit Bharat Rozgar Yojana' which aims to provide employment to a staggering 3.5 crore youth.
The 'Pratibha Setu Portal': Re-routing India's Finest Talent
In a groundbreaking move to ensure no top talent is wasted, the Prime Minister announced the launch of the 'Pratibha Setu Portal'.
This crucial initiative is designed to connect candidates who reached the final selection list of the highly competitive UPSC examinations but were not ultimately selected, with relevant job opportunities.
👉"Their efforts will not go in vain," the PM remarked.
👉By establishing a bridge between this pool of highly meritorious individuals and both private and public sector institutions, the portal aims for the optimal utilization of youth talent, ensuring that their years of dedicated preparation are leveraged for the nation’s growth. This platform is set to be a key showcase of India’s intellectual potential to the world.
The 'GST Bachat Utsav' is Now an 'Employment Festival'
Connecting economic reforms directly to job creation, Shri Modi highlighted how the festive season has been energized by the GST Bachat Utsav (Consumer Savings Festival). He explained the powerful economic domino effect:
- GST Rate Reductions make everyday goods cheaper.
- Consumer Demand Rises.
- Demand fuels accelerated production and supply chains.
Higher factory output and logistics activity leads directly to the creation of new jobs in manufacturing, logistics, packaging, and distribution.
The record-breaking sales witnessed during Dhanteras and Diwali serve as clear proof, demonstrating how GST reforms are giving fresh momentum to the MSME sector and retail trade, thereby transforming a 'savings festival' into an 'Employment Festival'.
Foreign Policy: Creating Global Jobs for Indian Youth
Acknowledging that India is the youngest country in the world, the Prime Minister stated that foreign policy is now strategically shaped around the interests of its youth.
India’s recent diplomatic engagements and global MoUs increasingly include provisions for youth training, upskilling, and direct employment generation. Citing recent agreements:
UK Partnership: Enhanced investments agreed upon in future-proof sectors like AI, fintech, and clean energy. The recently signed Free Trade Agreement is also poised to unlock new opportunities.
Global Collaborations: Partnerships with countries like Brazil, Singapore, Korea, and Canada are set to boost investment, support startups and MSMEs, increase exports, and create avenues for youth to work on cutting-edge global projects.
Shri Modi concluded by encouraging the new recruits to utilize the 'i-Got Karmayogi Bharat Platform' for continuous learning and upskilling, stressing that their efforts will lead India's journey toward a developed future.
