JH-JOBS-DAS (CORRECTED)

Chief Minister Raghubar Das

Thursday said Jharkhand has established a record by giving

jobs to over one lakh youths in the private sector.

A total of 1,06,000 youths got jobs with Governor

Droupadi Murmu, Chief Minister Raghubar Das and other guests

handing over letters to some skill-trained youth symbolically

during the 'Global Skill Summit, 2019', an official release

said.

The chief minister said Jharkhand became the first

state to achieve the feat of giving jobs to over one lakh

youths in the private sector.

Addressing the summit at the Khelgaon here, Das

appealed to the youth to work diligently and bring laurels to

the state and to their families.

He said that the state government had done a great

work by providing jobs to the youths, two days before the

Youth Day, which will help the state in the future.

Das said that the youths pledge would be fulfilled

through hard work, adding the state was rapidly moving forward

as per Prime Minster Narendra Modis thought.

He asked the youth, "Has any other state government

thought about giving jobs in such a big way?" adding Jharkhand

had organised three Summits in the last two years----Momentum

Jharkhand, Agriculture & Food Summit and now Global Skill

Summit.

During the summit, MoUs were also signed with many

national and international sector skill organisations relating

to skill development and for expansion of skill development

programme in Jharkhand.

The chief minister had on January 12, 2018 promised to

provide jobs to one lakh youths.

Six skill training centres were inaugurated for

Jamtara, Lohardaga, Palamau, Gumla and Ranchi (two centres).

A total 17 participating countries are taking part in

the summit.

Speaking on the occasion, Governor Droupadi Murmu

congratulated the representatives of different industries and

companies for helping the youth get jobs in the private

sector.

"I congratulate them for initiating the process of

giving jobs to the youth from Jharkhand. The youth of the

state are meritorious, industrious and have the capacity to do

well under difficult situations. They have talent in every

sector and one cant differentiate boys and girls in terms of

merit," Murmu said.

"It is true that the youth appear dejected for want of

jobs because government jobs are less and population is more.

Therefore, it is to be pondered over to develop skill training

or make the youth hone skill of her or his choice," Murmu

said.

Appreciating industries and companies for felicitating

jobs in this endeavour, the governor stressed that the youth

should get respectable salaries so that a situation should not

come for them to quit jobs in one or two months for getting

lesser salary and the companies should think towards that.

She also said that it would be expected from the youth

to work with commitment and discipline.
