The Government of India, under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, celebrated the 16th edition of the Rozgar Mela on July 12, 2025, reaffirming its commitment to employment generation and youth empowerment. Organised by the Ministry of Railways, in coordination with various participating Ministries and Departments, the Rozgar Mela was conducted simultaneously at 47 locations across the country.

The recruits selected through this edition of the Rozgar Mela will be joining key government Ministries and Departments such as the Ministry of Railways, Department of Posts, Ministry of Home Affairs, Department of Financial Services, Ministry of Labour and Employment, Department of Science and Technology, and the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO), among others.

In Maharashtra, the Central Railway hosted the Rozgar Mela at three major locations — Mumbai, Pune, and Nagpur — marking the third time it has conducted the event in multiple cities. In Mumbai, Union Minister for Commerce and Industry, Shri Piyush Goyal, distributed appointment letters to 189 new recruits at the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus Auditorium. Speaking on the occasion, he highlighted the critical role of government service in national development and expressed confidence that the youth would contribute significantly to strengthening the Indian economy.

In Nagpur, Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways, Shri Nitin Gadkari, handed over appointment letters to 148 newly recruited candidates on behalf of the South East Central Railway Division. Urging the appointees to consider government service as a noble opportunity to serve the society and the nation, he stated, “Fulfill your duty with honesty and dedication, and success will follow.”

In Pune, Union Minister of State for Civil Aviation, Shri Murlidhar Mohol, distributed appointment letters to 114 recruits at the IRICEN Auditorium, Koregaon Park, in the presence of senior dignitaries.

The Rozgar Mela continues to represent a major initiative by the Government of India to provide employment opportunities to youth across the nation. By directly connecting aspiring candidates with government employment avenues, the Rozgar Mela not only addresses the pressing issue of unemployment but also empowers the nation's workforce to actively contribute to India’s development journey.
