The Union Ministry of State for Home Affairs held the 20th edition of Rozgar Mela in Hyderabad on 19 September 2026, where 221 candidates received appointment letters from the Central Tax and Customs department. The event, inaugurated by Shri Bandi Sanjay Kumar, is part of a nationwide recruitment drive being conducted simultaneously across 45 locations in India.
The Numbers and Details
The 20th Rozgar Mela is distributing approximately 51,000 appointment letters across all 45 participating locations in the country. Since the first 19 Rozgar Melas began, over 12.75 lakh candidates have received appointment letters through this initiative.
The recruitment effort is aligned with the government’s target of filling 10 lakh positions in Central Government services. The event in Hyderabad was organised by the Central Tax and Customs authority at the Dr. MCR HRD Institute in Jubilee Hills.
The 221 newly appointed candidates in Hyderabad will undergo training at the National Academy of Customs, Indirect Taxes and Narcotics (NACIN), also based in Hyderabad. Their training curriculum will include GST laws, Customs procedures, related legislation, office practices and hands-on work experience. Those appointed as Inspectors will additionally receive specialised firearms training through coordination with the Telangana Police Academy.
What This Means for You
If you are a candidate seeking Central Government employment, the Rozgar Mela programme shows an ongoing recruitment wave across multiple ministries and departments. The scale of this initiative—over 51,000 positions being filled in a single mela edition—indicates that various government agencies are actively hiring and may have openings matching your qualifications and background.
The focus on training new recruits suggests that selected candidates can expect structured onboarding and skill development before being assigned to their duties. For those interested in tax, customs or related regulatory work, this demonstrates that such departments are actively building their workforce capacity.
