It is the reason, the people’s government gave appointment orders to 30,000 recruited persons within three months of coming to power. Already issued the notification to fill 35,000 vacancies in various government departments. The government decided to fill another 35,000 vacancies in the next two or three months, he stated.
The unemployment problem will remain even after the government fills 2 lakh jobs in the state. The talented youth will not get job opportunities without skills. The government took the initiative to offer skill development programs for job aspirants. Three lakh students are completing graduation in the state every year. They are not getting job opportunities due to lack of skills to meet the industrial requirements, he stated.
The government held talks with BFSI to provide the required skilled workforce to the industries. Prepared action plan based on the proposals submitted by the BFSI. Launched this skill development program for students who complete the course before graduation. Extending gratitude for providing the necessary funds for the skill development training program. Students will get jobs in the Banking, Financial service and Insurance sectors soon after completing the training programme, he added.
The state government’s mission is to provide skilled youth to the world. Some youths were addicted to Ganja and narcotic drugs due to a lack of jobs for the last 10 years in the state. Worrying about engineering graduate students are among those caught recently with drugs. Everyone have the responsibility of eradicating drug menace in the state. Creation of employment opportunities is the need of the hour to rescue youth from drug abuse, he stated.
