Unemployment has emerged as one of the major challenges before the Modi government after two years of the pandemic and its attendant economic woes Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday announced that his government would be recruiting 10 lakh personnel within the next 18 months, "on a mission mode" , a major drive after recruitment to government jobs was derailed following the COVID-19 pandemic. In a tweet from his official handle, @PMOIndia, early on Tuesday morning, Mr. Modi said: "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 the next 1.5 years."

The announcement came on a day when Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and the three Service Chiefs announced the ‘Agnipath’ scheme of recruiting youth between the ages of 17.5 and 21 for a four-year stint in the armed forces with a provision of voluntary retention after this period, based on merit. Unemployment has emerged as one of the major challenges before the Modi government after two years of the pandemic and its attendant economic woes. An additional problem with regard to recruitment to government jobs has been the frequent leak of examination papers both for departments such as the Railways and for teacher recruitment as well. 

During the recently concluded Uttar Pradesh election in fact, police lathicharged protesting students in Prayagraj and in Patna, Bihar, who had been preparing to appear for Railway Recruitment Board Exams but were told that because the question paper leak, the exam had to be cancelled. While not sharing figures of which department would be recruiting how many, a senior government official shared that much of the recruitment would be in the Railways, armed forces (‘Agnipath’ and regular recruitment which had been frozen through the pandemic), the Central Paramilitary Forces, Goods and Services Tax (GST) departments, including customs and excise and administrative staff for government- owned banks and insurance companies. 

We are grateful to our Hon. PM Shri @narendramodi for this new mission of recruiting 10 lakh people into different government departments and ministries in 1.5 years. This shows our government’s emphasis on job creation for our youth and focus on efficient management of workload. pic.twitter.com/6XtdTK4LZm

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. — PMO India (@PMOIndia) June 14, 2022 "The recruitment for GST departments, which are revenue generating departments is important, and for posts which were earlier known as State tax inspectors, recruitment will cover customs and excise as GST pertains to them too. In government-owned insurance firms, while field staff have been recruited regularly, administrative recruitment hasn't taken place in any significant way for the last 15 years," said the official. 

The setting of a deadline will, it is hoped, help recruitments happen fast. Leaking of papers and countermanding of exams is an issue the government will also have to deal with.
