Union Minister of State for Social Justice and Empowerment Pratima Bhoumik has urged the newly appointed youth to serve the country and the State with honesty, sincerity, and dedication. Addressing the 8th Rozgar Mela, which was held at 45 locations across the country including Agartala, she said that India will become the most prosperous and developed country in the world by 2047. She expressed hope that the new recruits, who will be in service for the next 25 years, would play a big role and contribute to making the country develop during their 25 years of service.
 
The Minister mentioned that today, a total of 447 youth from the State barring Sepahijala district where the election model code of conduct is in effect, have been provided appointment letters, along with distribution of appointment letters to over 51000 new recruits in the central paramilitary forces across the country. She said, at one time the recruitment process used to take 18 to 20 months. Presently, under the direction of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, it has been possible to put an end to the long-ranging recruitment process and complete it within six months of the beginning of the process. The Government is working in that direction, she added.
 
Ms. Bhoumik said that if the benefits under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, and PM Kisan Samman Nidhi are provided online at the same time by pressing a button, it could be possible in the aspect of distribution of appointment letters too.
