These seven days have been a wonderful opportunity for the students and youth of Bidar for getting information about higher studies, career and trying to secure a job. Two day's Udyog Utsava saw around 4500 candidates turning up ins search of a job. There were more than 35 companies with a cumulative requirement of more than 3000 posts. By the end of the day, 714 candidates were given offer letters. The focus mainly was on those who are either matriculate or higher secondary. 350 candidates have been selected for further training that will ensure them a job at the executive level. I thank Mr. Rukmangada, the coordinator who single handedly ensured these many companies have come. I thank all the representatives from the companies for coming and recruiting our people and giving positive feedback about the capability of our students.
