Modi highlighted his government’s commitment to transparency and expeditious recruitment procedures, aiming to provide equal opportunities for all based on merit and hard work. He emphasized the belief among young Indians that they can secure positions within the government system through talent and dedication. The prime minister pointed to initiatives such as the rooftop solar power scheme for one crore homes and substantial investments in infrastructure as significant contributors to job creation. India’s burgeoning startup ecosystem, with over 1.25 lakh startups, was also lauded by Modi for generating employment across the country, even in smaller cities. Additionally, Modi outlined government support for startups, including tax rebates and a Rs 1 lakh crore fund for research and innovation, aiming to further stimulate job growth. Critiquing previous administrations for neglecting the railway sector and failing to meet public expectations, Modi underscored ongoing transformations in the industry. He inaugurated the phase I foundation stone of the integrated complex “Karmayogi Bhavan,” aimed at fostering collaboration and synergy among various components of ‘Mission Karmayogi.’ The newly recruited individuals will join various ministries and departments, marking a step forward in the government’s efforts to address unemployment and promote inclusive growth.

Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar has launched ‘Mission 60,000,’ aiming to provide employment opportunities for 60,000 youngsters from families earning less than Rs 1.80 lakh annually. The announcement was made during the state-level ‘Vivekananda Youth Mahasammelan’ on Swami Vivekananda’s birth anniversary. Under the comprehensive initiative, Khattar outlined key components of ‘Mission 60,000.’ The government plans to engage 7,500 ‘Van Mitra’ individuals, recruit 15,000 contractual employees through the Haryana Kaushal Rozgar Nigam, and involve 7,500 ‘e-Sewa Mitra’ for Common Services Centre, among other roles. Notably, 15,000 youths with diplomas or degrees in civil engineering will undergo specialized training to become contractors. Chief Minister Khattar highlighted a crucial financial support aspect, stating, “The government will extend a loan of Rs 3 lakhs to these individuals for one year without requiring any collateral. Trained youths under this program will be exempt from providing a guarantee for work up to Rs 25 lakh.” The overarching goal is to elevate their annual income, enabling them to surpass the Below Poverty Line (BPL) threshold. Paying homage to Swami Vivekananda, Khattar considered his life an inspiration and emphasized his significant role in representing India’s perspective at the World’s Parliament of Religions in Chicago in 1893. Khattar laid the foundation stone for the Saraswati Vatika development project of the irrigation and water resources department, allocating Rs 3.68 crore for the three-phase initiative. Karnal MP Sanjay Bhatia and Printing and Stationery Minister Sandeep Singh graced the occasion with their presence.
