Assuming five days a week, there will be some 2,560 jobs a day until December 2023.

The decision of the Central government comes amid the frequent criticism by the opposition on the issue of unemployment. A large number of vacant posts in different government sectors has often been flagged.

News agency PTI quoted cabinet secretary Rajiv Gauba saying that the Prime Minister’s review meeting comes more than two months after he suggested the secretaries of the central government to take immediate steps to fill up existing vacancies in the ministries and departments.

In a meeting with the secretaries on 2 April, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had stressed that employment should be the focus of all government interventions in both public and private sectors.
