The Centre for Career Planning and Counselling, University of Kashmir, organised a recruitment drive on December 4 and 5 by Ratnakar Bank (RBL), Mumbai.

The bank recruited students for different profiles. RBL, Mumbai, is one of the leading banks having presence all over the country. The recruitment drive was followed by felicitation of selected candidates. The felicitation was attended by Vice Chancellor Khursid Andrabi, Registrar, University of Kashmir, Zaffer Ahmed Reshi and Manoj Rawat, Executive Vice President, along with senior executives of RBL.

Andrabi said it was a proud moment for all of them because leading corporate houses were showing interest in the talent of the Valley and recruiting their youth on regular basis. He advised the youth to take up opportunities in the corporate world as there were limited options available to the youth in the government sector.

The Vice Chancellor further said the university was in the process of developing complete infrastructure to facilitate guidance, training and employment of the youth from the Valley.

Reshi said the selected candidates have a huge responsibility of being brand ambassadors of the Valley. He advised the students to work with diligence and determination so that the corporates recruit more people from the valley. He also shared his willingness to work with different organisations to enhance the skill sets of the youth.

Prof Farooq Ahmed Khan, Director, CCPC, said, “The Centre for Career Planning has been striving hard to connect the talented youth of the Valley with the corporate India and our endeavours have started bearing fruit.”

He further added that several reputed companies, including TCS, HCL Info Systems, ONGC and HDFC, have recruited from the Centre. He assured the students that the Centre would facilitate their efforts to be meaningfully employed.

Manoj Rawat, Executive Vice President, RBL, said their organisation regularly visited Kashmir to recruit the talented youth of the Valley. He further added that they have had a wonderful experience of recruiting Kashmiri youth as they were talented, dedicated and committed to their jobs. He further assured that RBL would continue to recruit the youth from Kashmir.

The session ended with a vote of thanks to the chair by Coordinator Mohammad Ayoub Shah, CCPC.
