These employment fairs, conducted within just six days, saw participation from various companies offering jobs to the youth in sectors such as manufacturing, engineering, telecom, healthcare, construction, and IT.
The Yogi government is expanding employment opportunities for the youth not only in government positions but also in private companies.The government is running various programmes aimed at enhancing the skills of the youth. The plan for 2024 includes employing a large number of young people in private companies through these job fairs.
