Union Minister for Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution Pralhad Joshi said the Center is committed to ensuring transparent and corruption-free recruitment processes.

He was addressing a gathering of newly recruited candidates after handing over appointment letters to them at the 19th Rozgar Mela organized by Hubballi Division of South Western Railway at Hubballi on Saturday.

Emphasizing that every citizen has an important role to play in building ‘Viksit Bharat’, Mr. Joshi urged the newly appointed candidates to serve the nation with sincerity, integrity and dedication in public service.

He said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, a nationwide initiative ‘Rozgar Parva’ was launched to create more employment opportunities across the country. As part of the initiative, appointment letters have been sent to over 51,000 candidates across the country, he said.

Mr. Joshi said that despite challenging global conditions, India has maintained economic stability. Highlighting the achievements of Indian Railways, he said it has achieved almost 99% electrification, which has significantly reduced dependence on conventional fuels. The minister also highlighted the country’s continued progress in the renewable energy sector.

Earlier, Mr. Modi inaugurated the 19th Mela across the country through a video conference.

During the mela, appointment letters were circulated to 150 candidates from around seven departments, including railways, banking, postal department and assistant lecturer posts.

Senior railway officials, including South Western Railway General Manager P. Ananth and Chief Personnel Officer Satya Prakash, Divisional Railway Manager Smt. Bela Meena and others were present.
