Around 39 private companies today provided job placements to over 656 unemployed youth in the district. In the two job fairs organised both virtually and physically, as many as 831 youth from the region took part in it.

The job fairs were organised at the offices of the Multi Skill Development Centre (MSDC) and BDPO Nurmahal. The recruiters included; Airtel, Kundi Hand Tools, Rock Man Private Limited, Adhan Private Solutions, Agile, Tata Sky, Exalt Health Care, State Institute of Management and Technology, Capital Medical Hall, Ayush Clinic, Akal Eye Hospital, Emzz hair saloon, Dishu Karyana Store, Renatus Wellness and others. While the companies offered jobs to the job seekers, with no certainty on the joining, some of the selected candidates remained discontented.

DC Ghanshyam Thori mentioned that such job fairs had been scheduled for the whole month of September during which avenues of employment would be offered to participants.

He added all Covid-19 protocols were strictly followed during the job fair. The selection of the youth for jobs was made purely on merit. Besides, another job fair would be organised at the BDPO, Lohia Khas.

Now, the fair will be held in the DBEE office in which renowned companies would participate and would offer jobs to the unemployed youths. The job seekers can register themselves on www.pgrkam.com or call on 90569-20100 for further information.
