From its inception when, on average, 15 out of 100 rural habitats had piped water, now the number has risen to 62 out of every 100 households. And the work is going on at a rapid pace. There are 130 districts with full coverage of piped water for every household.

He underlined that the government systems and the way government employees work are changing rapidly in today’s fast-moving India. He recalled the time when common citizens of the country used to visit government offices whereas today, the government is reaching the homes of the citizens by taking its services to the doorstep.

In the end, PM Modi also exhorted that the recruits must work with full sensitivity towards the citizens of the country, as they need to take these reforms further.

The Rozgar Mela is a step towards the fulfillment of PM’s commitment to accord the highest priority to employment generation. The Rozgar Mela is expected to act as a catalyst in furthering employment generation and providing meaningful opportunities to the youth for their empowerment and participation in national development.
