The state government said today that 45,747 jobs would be offered during the second phase of the Ghar Ghar Rozgar scheme.

For the second phase of the ‘Mega Job Melas’, organised by the state government from February 20 to March 8, a total of 1,689 employers have posted 45,747 vacancies on portal www.ghargharrozgar.punjab.gov.in. As many as 73,200 applicants have registered on the portal in the hope of getting their employment letters at the 140 events being conducted at 56 venues as part of these fairs, being held in collaboration with the industry, educational institutes, universities and Sector Skill Council.

Employment Generation Minister Manpreet Singh Badal said job seekers with any type of qualifications could register and appear for placement. Final-year students could also register for participating in these job melas.

Elaborating on the portal launched by the state government to facilitate the employment drive, the spokesperson said the website’s objective was to provide a one-stop interactive platform for job seekers and employers. Unlike private job portals, registration and access to this portal is free for both - job seekers and employers.
