Manohar Lal Khattar reiterates resolve to provide maximum job opportunities to Haryana youth
Chandigarh/UNI: Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Wednesday reiterated his resolve to provide maximum employment opportunities to the youth of the state through their skill development and said that the state government is working with a vision to ensure that no youth remains unemployed in the state.
The Chief Minister was speaking after inaugurating the Rozgar Bhawan constructed at a cost of about Rs 9.50 crore in Sector 14, Panchkula, near here.
On this occasion, Khattar unveiled the Rozgar Portal and Call Centre of Employment Department and also launched ‘Mistri Haryana’ app of Skill Development and Industrial Training Department.
He also felicitated seven private establishments with “Saksham Saathi Award” for engaging more than five per cent apprentices under the Apprentice Act 1961.
Earlier, the Chief Minister inaugurated a newly constructed bridge over Roon River on link road Badyal to Nimbuwala.
The bridge has been constructed at a cost of Rs 8.23 crore and would benefit 14 villages of Haryana and 12 villages of Himachal Pradesh.
Khattar said that apart from imparting quality education to the students, the state government is also laying special emphasis on their skill training to make them employable.
He said that schemes should also be prepared to ensure that youth are also attracted to jobs in the private sector besides the government sector.
The state government has made a decision to draft a legal provision to provide jobs to 75 per cent youth of the state in the private sector. However, in case the industrial establishments provide more jobs to the state youth, the government is ready to incentivize such units, he added.
He said that skill training of youth is necessary for employment. Keeping this in view, the state government has established Shri Vishvakarma Skill University at Dudhola village of Palwal district besides setting up a Skill Development Mission.
He said that skill development courses have not only been included in the curriculum of the University but are also being taught in government and private ITIs.
At present, there are more than 700 government and private ITIs in the state.
