New Delhi. PM Narendra Modi has decided to start a big campaign to provide government jobs by next year i.e. 2023. Under this campaign, by December 2023, 10 lakh youth will be given jobs in the ministries and departments of the central government. According to the PMO, PM Modi has given this order after reviewing the number of employees in the ministries and departments and asked to complete it by the stipulated time limit. Let us tell you that during the Parliament session in March this year, the Central Government had told that more than 8.72 lakh posts are vacant in its departments and ministries.
PM @narendramodi 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.

Union Minister Jitendra Singh had informed in a written reply in Parliament that as on 1st March 2018, there were 688823 vacant posts in Central Government Departments and Mantralaya. Whereas, the number of vacant posts as on 1st March 2019 was 910153. In the last three years, the number of these vacant posts has increased further. For this reason, now the central government is preparing to give jobs to 10 lakh youth. Let us tell you that the opposition has been continuously accusing the Modi government of not providing employment. Unemployment is made an issue in every election. However, before the Modi government, even during the UPA government, no concrete steps were taken in the matter of providing employment.
Earlier this year, during the assembly elections in 5 states including UP, the anti-BJP opposition had made unemployment a big issue. The opposition had alleged that the Modi government and the Yogi government of UP did not worry about providing employment during their tenure. After winning the election, CM Yogi Adityanath had talked about providing employment in UP within 100 days. Recently, following this instruction, the Home Department has recruited 10000 policemen in just 88 days. The work of recruitment on other posts is also going on fast.
