NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday asserted that the NDA-III government is committed to providing employment to maximum number of youths. He said a system was being worked at to build opportunities for every youth and explore their talents and skills to enable them to fulfill their aspirations.Modi virtually distributed appointment letters for government jobs to over 51,000 people at Rozgar Mela, organised simultaneously at 40 locations. He said his government initiatives, with the support of new technologies in almost all sectors such as space and semiconductors, are creating fresh job opportunities.In his virtual address, the PM criticised previous non-BJP or NDA governments for their lack of policy and intent, which he argued led to India falling behind in emerging sectors, particularly modern technologies. He condemned reliance on outdated technologies that were often imported into the country during previous governments. “A mindset existed then that believed modern technologies could not develop in our country. Such a mindset has done a lot of harm to the country’s progress,” he said. The absence of industries generating employment had made job creation challenging.“We started working in a planned way to rid the country of the old mindset of previous governments,” he said, highlighting that his administration’s policies and decisions have had a direct impact on employment in infrastructure projects, including expressways, highways, ports, rail networks, and airports.
