71,000 appointment letters will be distributed by PM Modi in Rozgar Mela
In an effort to reduce unemployment in the nation, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will hand out approximately 71,000 appointment letters to newly hired employees on Tuesday as part of the flagship Rozgar Mela programme.
“The Rozgar Mela is a step toward the Prime Minister fulfilling his promise to give employment creation top priority. According to a government announcement, the Rozgar Mela “is anticipated to operate as a catalyst in additional employment generation and provide meaningful possibilities to the youth for their empowerment and direct engagement in national development.”
The Rozgar Mela programme aims to fill 71,000 open positions in the technical and paramedical fields, including those of instructors, lecturers, nursing officers, nurses, doctors, radiographers, and pharmacists. Many positions in various Central Armed Police Forces would be filled by the Union minister of home affairs (MHA).
The Karmayogi Prarambh module, an online orientation programme for all new hires in different government ministries, will also be unveiled by PM Modi. A code of conduct for government employees would be provided through the educational module, along with instructions on workplace ethics and integrity.
To improve the knowledge, abilities, and competences of civil officials, the government has introduced the Karmayogi Prarambh curriculum. The goal of the module is to enhance the efficiency of the civil service through online learning resources. Employee benefits and allowances to help them get used to these policies will be readily available to civil officials.
Physical copies of the appointment letters will be given to the new appointees at 45 locations across the country, according to the government’s press release, with the exception of Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh, where the Election Commission of India (ECI) has enforced the Model Code of Conduct ahead of the assembly elections.
On October 22, Prime Minister Modi announced the “Rozgar Mela,” which he hoped would draw one million participants and lessen the impact of the global financial crisis on the Indian economy.
The government is being accused by the opposition of using the “mela” as a “publicity gimmick” to hide its shortcomings in employment development.
Ganesh mandal uses Ganeshotsav to spread awareness against addiction.
The Awareness
The Shivchhaya Mitra Mandal, popularly known as Navi Mumbaicha Raja, is using this year’s Ganeshotsav to promote a drug-free and healthy lifestyle. The mandal’s 56th Ganeshotsav is being organised at the CIDCO ground near ICL School in Sector 21, Turbhe. The celebrations began on September 14.
A major focus of this year’s festival is an anti-addiction campaign carrying the message “Say No to Drugs”. Through posters, banners and cut-outs, the mandal will create awareness about the harmful effects of alcohol, tobacco, gutkha, drugs, gambling and other addictive habits. The campaign promotes the message that a moment of pleasure can lead to lifelong problems, while staying away from addiction can lead to a happier life.
The festival will also include bhajans, spiritual programmes, blood donation and health camps, Annadan, Atharvashirsh recitation, Satyanarayan Mahapuja and felicitation of achievers. The mandal is also supporting tribal students from Wada and Mokhada in pursuing higher education after Classes 10 and 12.
Around 8 to 10 lakh devotees are expected to visit the pandal during the 12-day festival. A Satyanarayan Katha and Bhandara will be organised on September 24, with food arrangements for around 10,000 devotees.
Civic body prepares 192 immersion sites to support a smooth and eco-friendly Ganeshotsav.
The Ponds
The Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) has made arrangements for the smooth and eco-friendly celebration of Ganeshotsav 2026, which will be held from September 14 to 25. To reduce crowding and help prevent water pollution, the civic body has set up 170 artificial immersion ponds across the city, along with 22 natural immersion sites.
More than 140 Ganesh mandals have applied online for permission to install pandals. The NMMC has introduced a single-window system to make the approval process easier by bringing permissions from different departments together. Across all 192 immersion sites, arrangements have been made for volunteers, CCTV surveillance, electricity and generators. Medical teams will be deployed at 22 major immersion sites, while lifeguards and fire brigade personnel will also be available.
The civic body has arranged rafts at natural immersion sites and separate facilities for wet and dry nirmalya. Dedicated vehicles will collect floral waste and transport it to the processing facility in Turbhe. Road repairs and tree pruning along idol arrival and immersion routes have also been completed.
The NMMC has appealed to citizens to use artificial immersion ponds and celebrate Ganeshotsav in an eco-friendly manner, helping protect the city’s water bodies.
Initiative encourages residents, institutions and businesses to take responsibility for spaces around their premises.
The Launch
The Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) has launched the Angan Adoption Scheme 2026 under the Sugandhi City Campaign, encouraging citizens to take responsibility for the cleanliness and upkeep of public spaces near their homes, shops and institutions.
The initiative was inaugurated by Maharashtra Forest Minister and Palghar Guardian Minister Ganesh Naik. During the programme, appreciation certificates were presented to individuals who had already come forward to adopt public spaces. A web portal for the campaign was also launched, along with a booklet explaining its objectives.
Mayor Sujata Patil, Deputy Mayor Dashrath Bhagat, former MP Sanjeev Naik, former MLA Sandeep Naik, House Leader Sagar Naik and other elected representatives and citizens attended the event. Addressing the gathering, Ganesh Naik said the initiative could help Navi Mumbai move towards becoming the cleanest city in the country. He stressed that cleanliness should not be limited to appearances, but should involve genuine public participation.
Deputy Mayor Dashrath Bhagat explained that the scheme focuses on three key elements—places, spaces and people. Residents, schools, colleges, hospitals, factories, shops and other institutions can adopt even small areas outside their premises, keep them clean and prevent garbage from being dumped there. The campaign promotes the message, “My courtyard, my responsibility,” and aims to turn cleanliness into a shared responsibility among Navi Mumbai’s citizens.
