The submission of the form for Gorakhpur Sadar started today.

Talking to HT, employment exchange officer Sushil Kumar said that all the unemployed below 35 years who were registered with the employment office would get the allowance.

He further said that the applicants who failed to submit their application forms could deposit their forms in July.

Around 23,000 graduates were eligible for unemployment allowance. The huge rush for submission application forms adversely affected the registration of the names of fresh graduates in the department.
