In Assam, Prime Minister Narendra Modi distributed appointment letters via video conferencing while Union Minister Sarbananda Sonowal personally handed them over to candidates in a ceremony held at Guwahati.
Praveer Nandi from Lumding, Assam was recruited as a TGT Physical Education teacher in Kendriya Vidyalaya Golaghat.

Modi, addressing the recruits, emphasized the government's commitment to providing employment opportunities for the youth and highlighted efforts to uplift those who have been neglected. Recent studies indicate that more than 13 crore people have risen out of poverty in the last five years.
Speaking about the ongoing 'Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra', a campaign to take government schemes directly to citizens, the Prime Minister urged recruits to dedicate their time to "serving the people."

Union Minister Sarbananda Sonowal, speaking at the occasion, expressed the government's commitment to providing opportunities for the youth to actively participate in nation-building. "With the Rozgar Mela", he noted, "lakhs of qualified youth have joined efforts to make India Atmanirbhar Bharat by 2047."
Modi also highlighted the government's success in rapidly reviewing and completing projects worth lakhs of crores, citing examples like the Bidar Kalburgi railway line and Pakyong airport in Sikkim. He pointed out the transformative impact of the RERA law on the real estate sector, emphasizing its role in establishing transparency, boosting investment, and creating over one lakh registered projects.
Concluding, Modi showcased India's economic growth, citing global optimism from noted institutions. He expressed confidence in the abundant possibilities for employment and self-employment that will continue to emerge in India in the coming times, reinforcing the nation's position as the world's fifth-largest economy, with aspirations to be among the top three by 2030.
