Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to distribute more than 51,000 appointment letters to newly recruited youth joining various government organizations during the 20th Rozgar Mela on September 19, 2026.
The appointment letters will be presented through a video conference beginning at 12:30 p.m., with Modi also scheduled to address the newly selected candidates. The event will take place simultaneously at 45 locations across India, connecting recruits and participating government departments.
The latest group of recruits will take up positions across several ministries and departments of the Government of India. These include the Department of Revenue, Ministry of Railways, Ministry of Home Affairs, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Department of Financial Services and Ministry of Defence, among other government bodies.
The Rozgar Mela initiative is designed to provide employment opportunities to young people and expand their participation in the country’s public administration and development efforts. The government has positioned the program as an ongoing effort to facilitate recruitment across different departments and organizations.
With the upcoming 20th edition, the cumulative number of young people receiving appointment letters through the Rozgar Mela initiative is expected to reach approximately 1.275 million.
The program has brought together recruitment efforts across a range of government institutions, offering selected candidates opportunities in different areas of public service. The positions cover multiple sectors, reflecting the varied workforce requirements of the central government.
The September 19 event will mark another stage in the government’s continuing recruitment initiative. Candidates receiving appointment letters will join their respective departments and contribute to government operations across the country.
The event also provides a platform for the Prime Minister to interact with newly appointed employees and discuss their role in public service. Through his address, Modi is expected to engage directly with candidates beginning their careers in government organizations.
The scale of the latest recruitment drive highlights the continuing role of the Rozgar Mela in coordinating government appointments across multiple departments and locations.
As the 20th edition gets underway, the initiative will have reached a cumulative milestone of about 1.275 million appointment letters, underscoring its scale as a nationwide government recruitment program focused on bringing young professionals into public service.
