Streamlining the Recruitment Process: From Tedious to Efficient
- Making Recruitment Faster, Transparent, and Unbiased: The Prime Minister acknowledged the government’s focus on prioritizing the recruitment process, significantly reducing the time taken to onboard new recruits. Previously, the Staff Selection Board took approximately 15-18 months, whereas today it takes only 6-8 months, ensuring a more efficient and timely selection process.
- Simplifying the Application Process: The Prime Minister highlighted the simplification of the recruitment process, transitioning from traditional paper-based methods to online platforms. Applicants can now submit their applications online, eliminating the need for physical submission via post. Additionally, the introduction of self-attestation of documents has further simplified the application process.
- Eliminating Interviews for Group C and Group D: In a significant move, the Prime Minister announced the abolition of interviews for Group C and Group D positions, reducing subjectivity and favoritism. This step has led to a fairer and more merit-based selection process, ensuring equal opportunities for all candidates.
- Eradicating Nepotism: The Prime Minister emphasized that the elimination of nepotism from the recruitment process is one of the most significant advantages of the recent reforms. Candidates are now selected based on their qualifications, skills, and merit, leading to a more inclusive and transparent system.
Government Policies Fostering Employment Possibilities
- Creating Opportunities through Capital Expenditure: Over the past nine years, the government has allocated a significant amount of funds towards capital expenditure and basic facilities. An expenditure of about 34 lakh crore rupees has been made, with an additional allocation of 10 lakh crore rupees in this year’s budget. These investments have resulted in the development of modern infrastructure, including highways, airports, rail routes, and bridges, consequently generating numerous job opportunities.
- Unprecedented Progress in Railways: The Prime Minister highlighted the remarkable progress made in the Indian railway sector. Over the past nine years, 40 thousand kilometers of rail lines have been electrified, compared to 20 thousand kilometers in the preceding seven decades. The expansion of the metro rail network has also been noteworthy, with the laying of approximately 6 kilometers of metro rail lines.
- Rural Development and Connectivity: The government’s focus on rural development has led to significant improvements in rural infrastructure. The length of rural roads has increased from less than 4 lakh kilometers to 7.25 lakh kilometers. The number of airports has also seen substantial growth, rising from 74 in 2014 to nearly 150 today. These developments have not only enhanced connectivity but also created employment opportunities on a large scale.
- Housing for the Poor: In the past nine years, the government has constructed 4 crore houses for the underprivileged, providing substantial employment opportunities. Additionally, the expansion of common service centers in villages, the construction of Panchayat Bhawans, and the connection of 9 crore households with piped water have all contributed to job creation in rural areas.
- Boosting the Startup Ecosystem: The Prime Minister highlighted the government’s support for new sectors, particularly startups. The number of startups in the country has increased from 100 before 2014 to more than 1 lakh today, providing employment to over 10 lakh youths. The government has implemented policies and initiatives to foster the growth of startups, recognizing their potential to drive innovation and generate employment.
- Technological Advancements for Employment: The Prime Minister emphasized the impact of technological advancements in improving people’s lives and creating employment opportunities. Examples include app-based taxi services that have become essential for urban transportation, efficient online delivery systems that have increased employment in the logistics sector, the use of drones for various purposes such as pesticide spraying and medicine delivery, and the expansion of the city gas distribution system, which has created jobs in the energy sector.
- Mudra Yojana: Promoting Entrepreneurship: Under the Mudra Yojana, the government has disbursed loans worth more than 23 lakh crores, enabling citizens to establish new businesses, purchase taxis, or expand existing establishments. This initiative has helped approximately 8-9 crore citizens become first-time entrepreneurs, contributing to self-employment and economic growth. The Atmanirbhar Bharat campaign also focuses on promoting employment through domestic manufacturing, with the government providing significant assistance under the PLI (Production-Linked Incentive) scheme.
- Development of Education and Skill Institutes: The Prime Minister highlighted the government’s efforts to develop higher education and skill development institutes across the country. In the past nine years, a new IIT (Indian Institute of Technology) and a new IIM (Indian Institute of Management) have been established each year. Additionally, one university has been inaugurated every week, and on average, two colleges have become functional every day. The number of universities in the country has increased from around 720 before 2014 to more than 1100 today. The expansion of medical education has been remarkable, with the establishment of 15 new AIIMS (All India Institutes of Medical Sciences) and a significant increase in the number of medical colleges and seats.
- Importance of ITIs and Skill Development: The Prime Minister acknowledged the role of ITIs (Industrial Training Institutes) in skill development and job creation. Over the past nine years, one ITI has been established every day, offering new courses tailored to the country’s needs. More than 1.25 crore youth have received skills training under the PM Kaushal Vikas Scheme. These initiatives have significantly contributed to employment generation and the development of a skilled workforce.
- Growth in Formal Jobs and Self-Employment: The Prime Minister highlighted the growth in formal jobs and opportunities for self-employment. According to EPFO (Employees’ Provident Fund Organization) Net Payroll data, around 4.5 crore new formal jobs were created after 2018-19, indicating a steady growth trend. The government’s emphasis on entrepreneurship and the availability of financial assistance have facilitated the establishment of new businesses and the growth of existing ones, providing avenues for self-employment.
