Modi asks govt department and ministries to undertake 10 lakh jobs in 18 months
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has asked various government departments and ministries to undertake the recruitment of 10 lakh people on a “mission mode” in the next year and a half, his office said today.
The direction from Prime Minister Modi came following a review of the status of human resources in all government departments and ministries, the Prime Minister’s Office or PMO said.
The government’s decision comes amid the opposition’s frequent criticism of it on the issue of unemployment. A large number of vacant posts in different government sectors has often been flagged.
“PM Narendra Modi reviewed the status of Human Resources in all departments and ministries and instructed that recruitment of 10 lakh people be done by the Government in mission mode in next 1.5 years,” the PM’s Office said in a tweet.
