“In recent times, 10,000 youngsters were given appointment letters in Gujarat and the target of filling 35,000 posts in the next one year has been set,” he said, maintaining similar job fairs would be organised at the national and state levels in coming months.

“The Centre is working to provide 10 lakh jobs. The states and UTs are also getting associated with the campaign. The number of government jobs will rise significantly,” he said.

The Prime Minister congratulated young candidates who have been given appointment letters for different posts in various grades. Gujarat, he said, was moving expeditiously and “today 5,000 candidates are getting appointment letters from the Gujarat Panchayat Service Board, and 8,000 from the Gujarat Sub Inspector Recruitment Board and Lokrakshak Recruitment Board”.
