As part of the employment fair, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday distributed more than 71,000 appointment letters to recruits via video conferencing from New Delhi. Physical copies of appointment letters were handed over at 45 locations across the country.

Tomar said the process to recruit 75,000 youths every month in mission mode will continue throughout the year to meet the target of recruiting 10,00,000 people. “But we also have to understand that government jobs alone are not employment. This is not the solution in its entirety,” he said. Tomar said jobs are generated through many schemes in the country. "There are immense job opportunities for the youth in the schemes including 'Make in India', 'Skill India', 'Standup India' and 'Startup India'. Along with this, opportunities in the private sector are also increasing very fast," he said. He said 1.50 crore youths have been trained through the Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya Grameen Kaushalya Yojana, out of which more than 80,00,000 are gainfully employed.
