He underscored the importance of growth across all sectors for any economy, stating, "From food to pharma, from space to startups, it is necessary for all sectors to grow for any economy." PM Modi also highlighted that the automotive and pharmaceutical sectors were experiencing rapid growth, and in the future, they would generate substantial employment opportunities for the youth.


"The tourism sector is likely to contribute over Rs 20 lakh crore to the Indian economy by 2030, potentially creating 13-14 crore new jobs," he added. The newly inducted recruits, hailing from various regions of the country, will assume various roles, including constable (general duty), sub-inspector (general duty), and non-general duty cadre positions in various organizations under the Ministry of Home Affairs, as per the PMO statement.


These new appointees will also have the opportunity to undergo training through the 'Karmayogi Prarambh,' an online module accessible via the iGOT Karmayogi portal, offering over 673 e-learning courses for flexible learning, anytime, anywhere, according to the PMO release.


It's noteworthy that the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) is seeking to recruit personnel into central armed police forces (CAPFs) like the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), Border Security Force (BSF), Assam Rifles, Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), Shashtra Seema Bal (SSB), Indo Tibetan Border Police (ITBP), Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), and Delhi Police via the Rozgar Mela.
