The Prime Minister Narendra Modi
today addressed the Rozgar Mela of Uttar Pradesh Government via a video
message. In the Mela, appointment letters were provided to direct recruits for
Sub Inspectors in UP Police and equivalent posts in Nagrik Police, Platoon
Commanders and Fire Department Second Officers.
Addressing the occasion, the Prime Minister expressed happiness
that he is getting an opportunity to address a Rozgar Mela almost every week in
BJP ruled states and the country is continuously getting many talented youth
who bring new thinking and efficiency in the government system.
Highlighting the special importance of the UP Rozgar Mela today,
the Prime Minister said that this will bring happiness to 9 thousand families
and will enhance the sense of security in Uttar Pradesh as the new recruitments
will strengthen the Police force in the state. The Prime Minister said that
with more than 1.5 lakh new appointments in UP Police since 2017, both
employment and security improved under the present dispensation.
Modi emphasized that today, Uttar Pradesh is recognized for its
law and order and development orientation, a far cry from the earlier image of
the mafia and crushed law and order situation. This, he said, has led to new
opportunities of employment, business and investment.
Highlighting the efforts of the double-engine government, the
Prime Minister listed new airports, dedicated freight corridor, new defence
corridor, new mobile manufacturing units, modern waterways, a new
infrastructure that is bringing in unprecedented employment opportunities. He
said that UP has the most number of expressways and highways are being
developed constantly. These are not only creating employment but paving the way
for more projects in the states. He pointed out the push to tourism by the
state has led to a rise in employment. Shri Modi also noted the enthusiastic
response in the recent Global Investor Summit and how that will push employment
in the state.
“The combined power of security and employment has given new
impetus to the economy of UP”, said the Prime Minister. He cited collateral-
free loans up Rs 10 lakh under the Mudra Scheme, One District One Product
scheme, flourishing MSME and vibrant startup ecosystem.
To the new appointees, the Prime Minister talked about the new
challenges and responsibilities and asked them to keep the learner alive in
them. He asked them to keep working on their personality development, progress
and knowledge.
“When you come to this service, you get a ‘Danda’ from the
police, but God has given you a heart too. That's why you have to be sensitive
and make the system sensitive” the Prime Minister told the new recruits. He
dwelled on the training also that will improve sensitivity and modern areas
like cyber crimes, forensic science to promote smart policing.
The Prime Minister stressed that new recruits will have the
responsibility of both security and giving direction to society. “You can be a
reflection of both service and strength for the people”, the Prime Minister
concluded.
