Prime Minister Narendra Modi distributed more than 51,000 government appointment letters during the 19th Rozgar Mela on Saturday through video conferencing. The event covered recruits for ministries including Railways, Home Affairs, Health, Financial Services and Higher Education. Supported claims are corroborated by Times of India and Hindustan Times, while several details remain unverified.
The distribution represents modest expansion of stable public-sector employment that can strengthen service delivery, yet risks substituting for structural reforms on wages and worker protections.
