It brings immense happiness to my family and me. With the blessings of my family and God, I am extremely happy with what I have achieved today. I am thrilled to be selected for the Income Tax Department."
Reflections From Bengaluru
Similarly, in Bengaluru, Karnataka, IANS spoke to several new appointees who shared their experiences after receiving their appointment letters. "First of all, I'm feeling very happy. It has been a long wait, with a lot of hard work and patience. So, I'm finally very happy now. Actually, as builders of the nation, we will be serving the government, and we will try to fulfil the aspirations of the government, specifically the aspirations of the Prime Minister," one appointee said.
Another candidate expressed gratitude toward those who had supported their journey. "I'm really happy that today I got my appointment letter. It has been years of hard work, and finally, I got it today. I'm very thankful to everyone who helped and supported me throughout my journey."
A further appointee connected their personal achievement to the government's longer-term vision. "I am feeling very happy. The Prime Minister's aspirations for 2047 and the way he has inspired all of us have motivated us to strive to achieve those aspirations. We will work with the same dedication as the Prime Minister does and try to achieve the Prime Minister's goals by 2047."
A Sense of Responsibility Alongside Relief
Another candidate from Bengaluru described the appointment as bringing both relief and a heightened sense of responsibility, particularly given the nature of the role. "Yeah, it's a relief initially, but it's also a great responsibility to take on the post that I have to hold. In the Income Tax Department, every penny is valuable. It is the people's money. So, we have to be very conscious while spending every amount, and I will also do my best to serve the people," he said.
Voices From Pune
In Pune, Maharashtra, candidates similarly spoke to IANS and expressed their happiness after receiving appointment letters. "I have been selected as a Scientist B at DRDO. We are receiving our appointment letters, and we are all very happy," one appointee said.
Another candidate reflected on the broader impact of the recruitment drive. "I have been appointed as a Scientist B at DRDO. My family is very happy. I would like to thank Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Because of him, many young people like me have got employment. We will serve the country in our respective fields."
A further appointee echoed similar sentiments of gratitude. "I would like to thank the Government of India and the Prime Minister. I have been selected as a Scientist B at DRDO. I would like to thank you for this opportunity."
PM Modi's Address at the Event
