Chandigarh, July 23

Haryana Chief Secretary TVSN Prasad has directed Haryana Kaushal Rozgar Nigam (HKRN) to actively engage with administrative secretaries to prepare a comprehensive menu of jobs to meet the skill requirements of various departments.

Presiding over the 7th Board meeting of the Haryana Kaushal Rozgar Nigam, Prasad emphasised the need for the Nigam to operate more professionally and address manpower requirements without delay.

It was informed at the meeting that the Nigam has deployed 1.25 lakh personnel in various departments, boards, corporations, universities, etc., out of which over 36,000 are from the Scheduled Caste category and over 34,700 from the Backward Classes. Additionally, the HKRN has finalised 51 new job roles related to the Health Department, Mines & Geology, DMER, and Haryana Forensic Labs. The HKRN has received requisitions for various categories of manpower of over 13,500 from various departments, which will be filled soon.

Meanwhile, the HKRN is in the process of acquiring a Recruiting Agent Licence from the Protector of Emigrants, Ministry of External Affairs, which will enable the HKRN to place job seekers abroad at its own level. The HKRN has selected 228 job seekers for placement abroad through the NSDC. Looking ahead, the HKRN plans to understand future manpower needs in the private sector and overseas markets.

Candidates will be equipped with necessary skills through training at the Haryana Skill Development Mission and Shri Vishwakarma Skill University, enhancing the employability of Haryana’s residents. A key focus of the Nigam is to relieve people from the burden of hefty commissions charged by private agents for overseas job placements. The Nigam portal aims to unite recruiters from government, private, and overseas sectors with job seekers on a single platform.
