“We have to change the old perception that 'pahad ka paani aur pahad ki jawani pahad ke kaam nahi aati'. We have to change this. That is why it has been a continuous effort by the Central Govt that the youth of Uttarakhand & our young generation return to their villages," added PM Modi.

The Prime Minister stated that this goes beyond obtaining a government position. The candidates are pleased that their talent has been recognized through a transparent and clear recruitment process. The recruitment process must have changed a lot to you. The Prime Minister stated, "The recruitment process has become more streamlined and time-bound in central jobs."
