Prime Minister Narendra Modi today said that the government is working towards easing the economic problems faced by many countries across the world in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Addressing a "rozgar mela" after distributing 75,000 appointment letters among government job aspirants, Modi said the Center was also working on several fronts to generate maximum employment opportunities for the youth.

PM Modi said, "It is a fact that the global situation is not very good. Many big economies are struggling. In many countries, problems like high inflation and unemployment are at their peak."

He said that the ill effects of a once in a century pandemic will not go away in 100 days.

“But in spite of this crisis, the impact of which is being felt all over the world, India is taking new initiatives and some risks to save its country from being affected by these problems.

We are working to reduce this impact on our country. It is a challenging task, but with your blessings we are still safe: PM Modi

Earlier, the Prime Minister had sent appointment letters to 75,000 job aspirants electronically.

The new recruits selected from across the country will join 38 Ministries or Departments of the Government of India. They will join the government at various levels in Group A and B (Gazetted), Group B (Non-Gazetted) and Group C.

According to a statement issued by the government, the posts for which the appointments are being made include Central Armed Forces personnel, Sub-Inspector, Constable, LDC, Stenographer, PA, Income Tax Inspector and MTS.

These recruitments are being done by Ministries and Departments either on their own or through recruiting agencies like UPSC, SSC and Railway Recruitment Boards. The government had said that the selection procedures have been simplified and made technically competent for faster recruitment.
