The fair offered employment opportunities to youth with different educational and professional qualifications, including ITI, diploma, engineering and graduation.

The Employment Department, Industrial Training Institutes, the Technical Education Department, polytechnic and engineering colleges, and the Chhattisgarh State Skill Development Authority also actively participated in organising the event.

Many youth trained under skill development programmes also attended the employment fair. Thus, the fair served not only as a recruitment platform but also as an effective forum for direct interaction and coordination among youth, industries, and educational institutions.

E-Rozgar Portal to Be Developed as ‘Skill Market’

The E-Rozgar Portal handled registration, applications, attendance, and candidate selection at the employment fair. This made the recruitment process simpler, more organised, and transparent.

The state government plans further to develop the E-Rozgar Portal as a ‘Skill Market’. This integrated digital platform will provide information about industry requirements and available vacancies, along with the educational qualifications and skills of job-seeking youth.

The platform will make it easier for youth to find employment opportunities suited to their qualifications. At the same time, industries will be able to access skilled human resources according to their requirements.

More Employment Opportunities Ahead for Youth Who Were Not Selected

Chief Minister Shri Sai also encouraged those who participated in the employment fair but could not secure a job this time. He said that they need not be disappointed. The state government will continue to create new employment opportunities for youth through employment fairs, skill development programmes and coordination with industries.

The Chief Minister congratulated Technical Education, Skill Development and Employment Minister Shri Guru Khushwant Saheb, departmental officers and employees, educational institutions, and representatives of industrial establishments and companies from Chhattisgarh and other states for successfully organising the employment fair.

Technical Education, Skill Development and Employment Minister Shri Guru Khushwant Saheb said that under the leadership of Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Deo Sai, the state government is continuously working to provide better employment opportunities to youth. The government’s objective is not merely to provide training but to connect their skills with real employment and livelihood opportunities.

He said that the large participation of youth from across the state reflects their enthusiasm and aspirations for a better future. Young people are being trained to meet current industry requirements, making them capable of securing employment.

Third-Party Evaluation Report Released to Improve Quality of Polytechnic Institutions

The Quality Council of India also released a third-party evaluation report during the programme, in the presence of Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Deo Sai. The report aims to improve the quality of education and training in polytechnic colleges across Chhattisgarh.

The report assesses the academic standards, training systems, available infrastructure and scope for quality improvement in polytechnic institutions. Based on its recommendations, the report has prepared an action plan to support the overall development of these institutions and improve training quality.

This will help develop technical education to meet changing industry requirements and improve students’ employability.

Chief Minister Shri Sai also referred to the Seva Sankalp Abhiyan. He said the state is organising various public welfare programmes to mark 25 years of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s public service. The employment fair is also carrying forward the same spirit of service and public welfare by directly connecting youth with opportunities.

During the programme, the government released the 32nd instalment of the Mahtari Vandan Yojana, and beneficiaries received benefits under various government schemes.
