SRINAGAR,
DECEMBER 04: Minister
for Education, Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari today inaugurated
a daylong job fair under National Career program (NCP) here at Kashmir Haat.
Organized under the aegis of Union
Ministry of Labor and Employment and Department of Labor and Employment
Government of J&K, the Minister said the main purpose of the fair is to
create a platform for employers and prospective job seekers besides providing
career counselling to the unemployed youth of Srinagar.
Deputy Commissioner Srinagar Syed
Abid Rasheed Shah, Director School Education Kashmir G N Itoo, Joint Director
Employment, Akramullah Tak were present on the occasion.
Altaf Bukhari appreciating the
initiative of Labor and Employment Department said that organizing such fairs
is a “concrete step to
provide prospective job seekers a chance to find suitable jobs.”
He laid stress on entrepreneurship
and self help groups saying that there are many business ideas that can be
given shape and would turn out to be successful business ventures.
The Minister said people earn money
on the commission basis by simply launching web portals therein providing home
deliveries of various products.
He said we are currently facing a
bigger challenge of unemployment in the state and government alone cannot
overcome it, adding it cannot provide employment to all unemployed in the
state. He said the youth have to come forward and take responsibility by giving
wings to their business ideas and turn them into reality.
Bukhari made public that the
education department will be advertising 2500 posts through Service Selection
Board (SSB) before March 2018. The Minister directed Labor and Employment
department to come up with a database for online registration to streamline
recommendation of unemployed youth to various organizations and impart training
to them for screening test against vacancies in various government departments.
He assured the unemployed educated
youth that their concern would be taken into consideration in the next fair
that will be organized three months later.
The companies that participated in
the fair included State Bank of India, Life Insurance Corporation, Khadi and
Village Board Industries, Rooman Technologies, NSDC Udaan, and besides scores
of other companies.
The fair was attended by hundreds of
job aspirants of the state who on the occasion registered themselves with
various companies for various jobs.
