Unpacked:
The Rozgar Mela is a government-led recruitment initiative launched on October 22, 2022, aimed at providing 10 lakh (1 million) central government jobs across various ministries and departments. It serves as a platform for formally distributing appointment letters to candidates selected through existing recruitment processes, not for creating new jobs.
The latest round of appointments covers several ministries and departments, including the Ministry of Railways, Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Department of Posts, Department of Financial Services, Ministry of Home Affairs, and Ministry of Labour & Employment.
Candidates are selected through existing government recruitment processes such as competitive exams and interviews. The Rozgar Mela acts as the formal ceremony where appointment letters are distributed to those who have already been chosen for various posts in central government departments and public sector units.
The Rozgar Mela has facilitated over 10 lakh government appointments, making recruitment more efficient, transparent, and regionally inclusive. The initiative is seen as empowering youth by offering stable employment and strengthening public institutions, while also addressing staffing gaps across multiple government sectors.
