Nearly 1 mn permanent govt jobs provided in one and a half years: PM Modi

Addressing recruits at a Rozgar Mela through a virtual event, where over 71,000 people were given appointment letters, he said never before in the tenure of any previous government jobs were provided in such a "mission mode".

The government's decision to grant 26-week maternity leave to women has helped them a lot in their career, he said, noting that women are the majority owners of the house constructed under the 'PM Awas Yojana'. Women-led development is taking place in the count
