Modi government's employment and welfare initiatives

Overview

In late May 2026, Prime Minister Narendra Modi presided over the 19th Rozgar Mela, a nationwide job fair that handed out more than 51,000 government appointment letters across 47 locations. The event highlighted the administration’s push to expand youth employment through transparent recruitment and linked the effort to newly signed international technology and trade agreements.

In June, the focus broadened to direct financial incentives for first‑time workers. On 19 June, Modi distributed roughly ₹2,400 crore under the Pradhan Mantri Viksit Bharat Rozgar Yojana, a scheme aimed at creating 3.5 million formal jobs over two years by offering cash support to new employees and subsidies to employers. A later announcement on the same day reported that more than 1.5 million beneficiaries had already received these incentives, with the programme accounting for several million jobs and expanded social‑security coverage.

Parallel to the employment drive, the government continued large‑scale Direct Benefit Transfers to farmers through the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi. On 20 June, Modi released the 23rd instalment of the scheme, transferring about ₹18,880 crore to over 9.44 crore farmer families nationwide, including a specific allocation of ₹1,463 crore for 73 lakh families in Bihar. The disbursements were accompanied by state‑level initiatives aimed at improving agricultural productivity and market access.

Together, these actions illustrate a coordinated rollout of both employment‑focused incentives and agricultural welfare payments, reflecting the Modi administration’s broader strategy to boost youth job creation, formal‑sector employment, and farmer incomes through direct benefit mechanisms.
