In his address to the seventh Rozgar Mela, PM Modi said that it is inspiring that the new recruits are getting their appointment letters today (July 22) as on the same day in 1947, the national flag was adopted in the constituent Assembly.
“The Constituent Assembly adopted the national flag on July 22, 1947. New recruits are receiving joining letters on this historic day. This is an inspiration,” PM Modi said adding that the next 25 years are of paramount importance for India.

PM Modi slammed the previous Congress-led government, saying that the banking sector was destroyed during their tenure.
“Today, India is regarded as having one of the strongest banking sectors, but this was not the case nine years ago. During the previous government, our banking sector saw huge destruction. We can now do digital transactions, yet phone banking was not available to 140 crore people nine years ago. People close to a specific family used to phone banks and request loans worth thousands of crores, which were never returned. The ‘phone banking scam’ was one of the biggest during the previous government,” PM Modi remarked.
Notably, the new recruits, selected from across the country will be joining the Government in various Ministries /Departments including the Department of Revenue, Department of Financial Services, Department of Posts, Department of School Education, Department of Higher Education, Ministry of Defence, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Central Public Sector Undertakings, Department of Water resources, Department of Personnel & Training and Ministry of Home Affairs, among others.
In May this year, PM Modi distributed 71,000 appointment letters to the new recruits at Rozgar Mela, which were held at 45 locations across the country. In the last eight months, Prime Minister Modi distributed joining letters to over 4 lakh 33 thousand recruits at six Rozgar Melas.
