Bharat Mata Ki Jai!

Bharat Mata Ki Jai!

My greetings to the people of Mahoba, the land where the valor of Alha and Udal and the Chandelas is in every particle!

Governor of Uttar Pradesh Smt. Anandiben Patel ji, popular Karmayogi Chief Minister of UP Yogi Adityanath ji, my colleague in the Union Cabinet Shri Gajendra Singh Shekhawat ji, Ministers in the UP government Dr. Mahendra Singh ji and Shri G.S. Dharmesh ji, my colleagues in Parliament R.K. Singh Patel ji and Shri Pushpendra Singh ji, colleagues in the UP Legislative Council and Legislative Assembly, Shri Swatantradev Singh ji and Shri Rakesh Goswami ji respectively, other public representatives and my dear brothers and sisters present here!

Visiting the historical land of Mahoba has an altogether different feeling. The country is also celebrating the week-long Janjatiya Gaurav Diwas dedicated to the contribution of tribal friends in the independence of the country and nation building. It is a great privilege for me to be here on this holy land of brave Alha and Udal. Today is also the Prakash Purab of Guru Nanak Dev ji, who awakened a new consciousness in India during the era of servitude. I also extend many wishes on Guru Purab to the people of the country and the world. Today is also the birth anniversary of the brave daughter of India, the pride of Bundelkhand, the brave queen Laxmibai. After this program I will also visit Jhansi where a huge program related to defence is going on.

Brothers and sisters,

Mahoba is witness to how we have brought the government out of the closed rooms of Delhi to every nook and corner of the country in the last seven years. This land has been witness to the schemes and decisions which have made substantial and meaningful changes in the lives of poor mothers, sisters and daughters of the country. Just a few months back, the second phase of the Ujjwala scheme for the entire country was launched from here. I remember I had promised crores of Muslim sisters of the country from Mahoba a few years ago that I would liberate them from the hassles of Triple Talaq. The promise made in Mahoba has been fulfilled.

Brothers and sisters,

Today I have come here to hand over a big gift to my dear farmer brothers and sisters of Bundelkhand. Today I have the privilege of inaugurating the Arjun Sahayak Project, Ratauli Dam Project, Bhaoni Dam Project and Majhgaon-Chilli Sprinkler Irrigation Project. These projects built at a cost of more than Rs. 3,000 crores will benefit the people of Mahoba as well as the people of Hamirpur, Banda and Lalitpur districts and lakhs of farmer families. More than four lakh people will also get pure drinking water. The wait for water for generations is going to end today.

Friends,

I welcome your enthusiasm. Your love means a lot to me. But I request you not to come forward as there is no space and please maintain calm and peace.

Friends,

Guru Nanak Dev ji has said:

पहलां पानी जीओ है, जित हरिया सभ कोय!!

That is, water should always be given priority because the entire universe gets life from water. Mahoba and this entire region used to be a perfect model of water conservation and water management hundreds of years ago. The ponds built during the regimes of Bundela, Parihar and Chandela kings are still a great example of water conservation. Sindh, Betwa, Dhasan, Ken and Narmada rivers gave prosperity as well as fame to Bundelkhand. It is the same Chitrakoot and Bundelkhand which provided solace to Lord Rama during his exile and the forest resources also blessed him.

But friends,

The question is how this area became the hotbed of water challenges and migration over time. Why people in this area started shying away from marriage of their daughters in the region, why daughters here started wishing for marriage in the water abundant areas. The people of Mahoba and Bundelkhand know the answers to these questions very well.

Those ruling Delhi and Uttar Pradesh left no stone unturned to devastate the region. It is not hidden from anyone how the forests and resources here were handed over to the mafia. Strangely, some people are creating hue and cry when the mafias are being bulldozed in UP. No matter how much trouble these people create, the development works in Bundelkhand and UP are not going to stop.

Friends,

The people here can never forget the way these people treated Bundelkhand. There was a lot of talk about installing tube wells and hand pumps, but the earlier governments did not specify how water would come in the absence of ground water. You know it better than me what happened to the ponds whose foundation laying ceremonies were held with fanfare. Those running the earlier governments looted Bundelkhand by pocketing commissions in projects related to dams and ponds and scams in drought relief and benefited their families only. They were little concerned when you were yearning for every drop of water.

Brothers and sisters,

The Arjun Sahayak Project is one such example of their performance. The project was hanging fire for years and remained unfinished. After 2014, I started asking for status of such pending projects and irrigation schemes in the country. I also discussed several times at many levels with the UP government of that time for the early completion of the Arjun Sahayak Project. But these culprits of Bundelkhand did not show any interest in completing irrigation projects here.

Finally, the pace of work on this project gathered momentum after Yogi ji's government was formed in 2017. And today this project has been dedicated to the people of Bundelkhand. For decades, the people of Bundelkhand have seen corrupt governments. For the first time, the people of Bundelkhand are seeing the government working for their development. My brothers and sisters of Bundelkhand, no one can forget the bitter truth that they never got tired of looting Uttar Pradesh whereas we do not get tired of working.

Friends,

Entangling farmers in problems has always been the hallmark of some political parties. They do politics over problems and we do politics of solutions. Our government only found the solution to the Ken-Betwa after consulting all the stakeholders. Ken-Betwa link is also going to benefit lakhs of farmers here in future. Yogi ji's government has launched many water related projects in Bundelkhand during the last four-and-a-half years. Today the launch of the Mashgaon-Chilli sprinkler scheme represents modernization in irrigation.

Friends,

I come from Gujarat and the ground reality of Gujarat then was not much different from that of Bundelkhand. Therefore, I understand your problems. With the blessings of Mother Narmada, the Sardar Sarovar Dam water is reaching even the desert of Kutch in Gujarat. We are working relentlessly to achieve the same success in Bundelkhand that we got in Gujarat. Brothers and sisters, Kutch in Gujarat also witnessed migrations as in Bundelkhand. While the population in the country increased, it declined in Kutch as people would migrate from there. But when I got an opportunity to serve, Kutch has now become one of those districts that are progressing at a fast pace.

My brothers and sisters from many parts of Uttar Pradesh are also trying their luck in Kutch. And I say from my experience in Kutch that we can give that strength and new life to Bundelkhand again. Work is also being done rapidly in Bundelkhand under the Jal Jeevan Mission in order to mitigate the biggest difficulty of the mothers and sisters here. A special campaign is being run to ensure that water reaches every household through pipes in Bundelkhand as well as in Vindhyachal.

Brothers and sisters,

For decades, the dynastic governments kept most of the villages in UP parched. The karmayogi governments have provided tap water to 30 lakh families in UP within just two years. While the dynastic governments deprived children and daughters of separate toilets in schools, drinking water facilities, the double engine government of karmayogis built separate toilets for daughters in schools and supplied tap water to more than one lakh schools and thousands of Anganwadi centers in UP. When the welfare of the poor is the top priority, then work happens at a fast pace.

Brothers and sisters,

Our government has taken steps in the interest of farmers at every level from providing seeds to ensuring markets. More than 1650 good quality seeds have been developed in the last seven years. Many of these seeds give high yields while consuming minimum water. The government is focusing on coarse cereals, pulses and oilseeds suited to the soil of Bundelkhand. Record procurement of pulses and oilseeds has been done in the last few years. Recently, MSP has been increased to Rs 400 per quintal for several pulses like mustard and lentils. A national mission has been started to make India self-sufficient in edible oil so that 80,000 crore rupees which we spend on imports of edible oil annually should go to the farmers of the country. This will also help the farmers of Bundelkhand a lot.

Brothers and sisters,

The dynastic governments wanted to keep the farmers only in deprivation. They used to make announcements in the name of farmers, but not even a single pie reached the farmers. Whereas we have transferred Rs 1.62 lakh crore directly to the bank accounts of farmers under the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi scheme so far. This entire amount has reached every farmer family. The dynastic governments had even denied the facility of Kisan Credit Cards to small farmers and livestock farmers. Our government has also connected small farmers with the facility of Kisan Credit Cards.

Brothers and sisters,

The government is committed to make this region self-reliant in employment and to prevent migration from Bundelkhand. The Bundelkhand Expressway and UP Defence Corridor is also a great proof of this. Hundreds of industries will be set up here in the near future and the youth will get employment here. Now the fate of these areas will not be a matter of just one festival. Moreover, this region’s treasure of history, faith, culture and nature is also becoming a huge medium of employment. This is the region of ​​pilgrimages. This region has the blessings of Guru Gorakhnath ji. Be it the Rahila Sagar Sun Temple, Maa Pitambara Shakti Peeth, Chitrakoot temple or Sonagiri pilgrimage, what is not here? Who will not be attracted to Bundeli language, poetry, literature, song-music and Mahoba's pride – ‘Deshavari Paan’? Many pilgrimage centers are being developed here under the Ramayan Circuit Scheme.

Brothers and sisters,

The double engine government is trying to make this decade the decade of Bundelkhand, Uttar Pradesh, through many such programs. This double engine government will continue to get the power of your blessings. With this belief, I am going to leave for the program in Jhansi after taking your permission. I am very grateful to you from my heart for blessing us by coming in such a large number. Speak with me:

Bharat Mata Ki Jai!

Bharat Mata Ki Jai!

The Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi addressed the Rozgar Mela and distributed more than 51,000 appointment letters to newly appointed youth in various Government departments and organizations via videoconferencing today. Addressing the gathering, he emphasized that today marks the beginning of new responsibilities for these youth in different departments of the Government of India. He congratulated the young individuals on beginning their service in various departments, emphasizing that despite different roles, their common goal is national service, guided by the principle of "Citizen First."

The Prime Minister emphasized the unmatched strengths of India’s demographic and democratic foundations. He underlined that India, with the world’s largest youth population and the largest democracy, holds unique potential to shape the future both domestically and on the global stage. The Prime Minister noted that this vast youth power is India’s greatest capital, and the government is steadfast in its efforts to convert this capital into a catalyst for long-term prosperity.

“Just two days ago, I returned from a visit to five countries. In every nation I visited, the strength of India’s youth echoed strongly. The agreements signed during this tour will benefit Indian youth both within the country and abroad”, Shri Modi said. He further stated that the various agreements signed during this tour on critical sectors such as defence, pharmaceuticals, digital technology, energy, and rare earth minerals will create far-reaching benefits. “These initiatives will not only strengthen India's global economic standing but also generate meaningful opportunities for young Indians in both manufacturing and services”, Shri Modi added.

Addressing the evolving landscape of employment, the Prime Minister highlighted that the nature of jobs is undergoing rapid transformation in the 21st century. Emphasizing the importance of innovation, startups, and research, he spoke of the growing ecosystem in India that empowers young people to dream big. He shared his personal pride and confidence in the new generation, expressing joy at seeing youth stepping forward with ambition, vision, and a strong desire to create something new.

Shri Modi stated that the Government of India is also focusing on creating new employment opportunities in the private sector. Recently, the government has approved a new scheme called the Employment Linked Incentive Scheme. Under this scheme, the government will provide ₹15,000 to young individuals who get their first job in the private sector. “In other words, the government will contribute to the first salary of their first job.For this, the government has allocated a budget of approximately ₹1 lakh crore.This scheme is expected to help in the creation of about 3.5 crore new jobs”, Shri Modi added.

The Prime Minister emphasized the transformative power of India’s manufacturing sector in driving national growth, generating employment, and accelerating India’s journey toward becoming the world’s third-largest economy. The Prime Minister noted that in recent years there has been significant strengthening of the Make in India initiative. Through the PLI (Production Linked Incentive) scheme alone, more than 1.1 million jobs have been created across the country. There has been an unprecedented expansion in the mobile phone and electronics sector. “Today, electronics manufacturing in India is worth nearly ₹11 lakh crore, marking more than a fivefold increase over the past 11 years. Earlier, there were only 2 to 4 units manufacturing mobile phones in the country. Today, India is home to nearly 300 units related to mobile phone manufacturing, employing lakhs of young people”, Shri Modi stated.

The Prime Minister also spoke of India’s rise as a global leader in defence manufacturing, with output exceeding ₹1.25 lakh crore. He praised India’s emergence as the largest locomotive producer in the world, and the country's strong export performance in locomotives, rail coaches, and metro coaches. The automobile sector, he added, has attracted $40 billion in FDI in just five years, resulting in new factories, new job opportunities, and record vehicle sales.

The Prime Minister underscored the far-reaching impact of India’s welfare initiatives, citing a recent International Labour Organization (ILO) report which confirms that over 90 crore Indian citizens have been covered under government welfare schemes over the past decade. These schemes, he noted, are not limited to welfare benefits alone, but have played a crucial role in generating large-scale employment, particularly in rural India.

The Prime Minister elaborated on flagship programs such as the PM Awas Yojana, under which 4 crore permanent houses have been built and 3 crore more are under construction. The construction of 12 crore toilets under Swachh Bharat has led to employment for plumbers and construction workers, while over 10 crore LPG connections provided under the Ujjwala Yojana have driven expansion in bottling infrastructure and delivery networks, resulting in the creation of thousands of distribution centres and lakhs of new jobs.

“The PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana, which offers over ₹75,000 per household for rooftop solar installations, is reducing household electricity bills and creating job opportunities for technicians, engineers, and solar panel manufacturers. Namo Drone Didi, has empowered rural women by training them as drone pilots”, Shri Modi added.

Shri Modi remarked that the country is also progressing with its mission to create 3 crore Lakhpati Didis, and 1.5 crore women have already achieved this milestone. Various schemes like Bank Sakhi, Bima Sakhi, Krishi Sakhi, and Pashu Sakhi have enabled women to find sustainable employment.He mentioned that the PM SVANidhi scheme has extended formal assistance to street vendors and hawkers, bringing millions into mainstream economic activity. Simultaneously, the PM Vishwakarma Scheme is revitalizing traditional artisans, craftsmen, and service providers through access to training, tools, and credit.

The Prime Minister emphasised that it is the impact of these numerous schemes that, in just the past ten years, 25 crore people have come out of poverty. “Without employment opportunities, such a transformation would not have been possible.This is why today, major global institutions like the World Bank are praising India. India is now being counted among the top nations in the world with the highest levels of equality”, Shri Modi stated.

The Prime Minister described the current phase as a Mahayagya of development, a national mission dedicated to poverty eradication and employment generation and called on the country’s youth and new government appointees to take this mission forward with renewed energy and dedication.

Concluding his address, the Prime Minister invoked the guiding ethos of "Nagrik Devo Bhava" of treating every citizen as divine, and extended his heartfelt congratulations and best wishes to the new appointees for a bright and meaningful future in public service.

Background

In line with the Prime Minister's commitment to accord highest priority to employment generation, the 16th Rozgar Mela will be held at 47 locations across the country. The Rozgar Mela will play a significant role in providing meaningful opportunities to the youth for their empowerment and participation in nation building. More than 10 lakh recruitment letters have been issued so far through the Rozgar Melas across the country.

The new recruits, selected from across the country, will be joining the Ministry of Railways, Ministry of Home Affairs, Department of Posts, Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Department of Financial Services, Ministry of Labour & Employment among other departments and ministries.
