Rozgar Mela: PM Narendra Modi distributes over 51,000 appointment letters, says working to free India from old thinking
“New technologies used to come into the world. But in India, we used to wait for them, thinking that it has come to the world, when will it come to us,” said Prime Minister Modi, adding these technologies used to reach India when they became outdated and useless in the Western countries.
“This mindset was created that modern technology cannot be developed in our country. What a great loss was caused by this mindset… India not only lagged in the race of modern development, but the most important sources of employment also started going away from us,” he said.
The Prime Minister said that today’s India has started working to free the country from the old thinking of the previous governments. “From the space sector to semi-conductors, from electronics to electric vehicles, we have made progress in every new technology,” he added.

The Prime Minister added that the central government has been continuously providing permanent government jobs to lakhs of youths in the country. “In BJP and NDA-ruled states, thousands of youths have also received appointment letters. Just recently, in Haryana, the newly formed (BJP) government has given jobs to 26,000 youths,” he stated.
He highlighted how the sale of Khadi has jumped by 400% compared with the time of the UPA government, noting that this indicates the “Khadi industry is growing, benefiting artisans, weavers, and traders alike.”
He believes the growth is beneficial not just for those in the Khadi industry but also for various other sections of society. “It leads to increased employment opportunities and boosts economic development,” he stated.
