New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday linked India’s expanding global partnerships and industrial growth directly with job creation, while distributing more than 51,000 appointment letters to newly recruited candidates under the 19th Rozgar Mela programme through video conferencing.
Addressing the newest entrants into government service, Modi said the country’s push in sectors such as semiconductors, artificial intelligence, electronics manufacturing, green energy, and shipbuilding was aimed at creating long-term employment opportunities for India’s youth.
He said the newly appointed candidates would become part of the larger mission of building a developed India by 2047.
The PM noted that the recruits would serve across key sectors, including railways, banking, defence, health, and education, adding that their role would be important in strengthening public service delivery and governance.
During his address, Modi referred extensively to his recent diplomatic visit to five countries, saying India’s growing international engagements are opening new economic and employment avenues for young professionals.
According to an official statement, discussions held with countries such as the Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, the UAE, and Italy focused on emerging sectors that are expected to drive global growth in the coming decades.
He said agreements related to semiconductors, digital innovation, clean energy, maritime infrastructure, defence technology, and advanced manufacturing were designed to strengthen India’s industrial ecosystem while creating employment opportunities for skilled youth.
Highlighting India’s semiconductor ambitions, Modi cited the partnership between ASML and Tata Electronics, saying the agreement would help generate thousands of jobs and strengthen India’s position in the global chip manufacturing supply chain. He added that partnerships in AI and supercomputing would further accelerate technological advancement in the country.
The PM also pointed to increasing investments in clean energy, green hydrogen, electronics manufacturing, and aviation maintenance infrastructure, saying these sectors were emerging as major employment generators for engineers, technicians, and skilled workers.
Speaking on manufacturing growth, Modi said the Production Linked Incentive scheme had boosted domestic electronics production and helped expand India’s manufacturing value chain. He added that both public and private sector investments were contributing to large-scale employment generation.
Modi further underlined the government’s focus on infrastructure expansion, including roads, railways, airports, ports, and digital connectivity. According to him, improved connectivity has transformed economic activity in villages and smaller towns by helping farmers, traders, and students gain better access to markets and services.
