The Central government gave away appointment letters to lakhs of youths in the country in the past several months. In the BJP-ruled states as well as Union Territories, largescale employment options are being created at the local level. We have to change the mindset that jobs are not available at the local level. Youths from Uttarakhand leaving their state to seek a job in another state have now become a myth. They are being employed in their state, said the Prime Minister.
The Prime Minister said, "We are focusing on youths of the country becoming self-employed. Instead of seeking jobs in government sectors, youths are asked to move ahead by availing of the opportunities provided by the Central and state governments. Uttarakhand has been seeing a lot of changes in the field of infrastructure development. It will help youths to travel to far-flung areas of the state in connection with their business."
