JH-SUMMIT-PRADHAN

Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan

Thursday said the Narendra Modi government at the Centre has

added a new chapter by providing 10 per cent reservation to

economically weaker people in the general category.

"The way Rozgar Mahakumb organised Thursday in

Jharkhand will see the same in the whole country in the coming

times and the reservation based on economic criteria will

benefit the poor," said Pradhan, the Petroleum & Natural Gas

and Skill Development and Entrepreneurship minister.

Addressing the 'Global Skill Summit, 2019' at Khelgaon

in the presence of Jharkhand Chief Minister Raghubar Das and

other eminent guests, Pradhan said after 70 years of

independence, reservation on the basis of the poor (category)

was provided.

He appreciated the Jharkhand governments efforts in

bringing the industry, the youth and the government on one

platform, adding for the first time in the history of

independent India that over one lakh youth got letters at one

go.

Pradhan said that other states will also get support

in Jharkhands efforts in skill development.

He said textile industry in Vietnam is giving

competition to China and the youth here could also learn and

challenge the world.

Pradhan also informed that there was a need for

trained manpower in several countries and there was a need to

skill the youth as per the needs.

The Jharkhand government Thursday gave appointment

letters to 11 youths symbolically as one lakh and six thousand

youth got jobs in the private sector.
