Udyoga Mela in Sriranga Patna....

Conducted Job Mela in a small taluka town, Sriranga Patna. Reputed companies recruiting at various levels more than thousand people.. Finally 400 candidates were issued appointment orders on the spot, 200 more selected. Many rejected candidates will be given free training in soft skills so that they could compete in the subsequent opportunities..
This was an initiative by Mr. Prabhu, The AC Pandava Pura, Arul Kumar, the Tahsildar and the elected representatives of the Sriranga Patna taluka. The programme was organised in cooperation of the Municipality and the Taluka Panchayat.

The fair was a success. This has created awareness among the public about the need to have skill development and to move away from the concept of depending merely on the government for the job. I come across amny application everyday from people asking for a job in the government sector. They still think that the DC is the all powerful person who can give job to anybody. This is the solution to such issues.

We should have a tie up with companies who recruit and the facilities that are available for training. In this regard, a proposal is being worked out whereby the existing Employment Exchange in Mandya would be converted in to an HRD Centre and would work as the Nodal agency for training, placement and follow up of the unemployed youth in the district.

The second Job Mela, conducted in the district during the year 2011 was successful and it gives energy to us to ago ahead with the skill development projects..
