Employment is a major necessity for youth. In the last two months, five and a half lakh youth have been given an opportunity to become self-reliant through financial assistance under various schemes, he said.
Against the target of connecting one lakh people with employment, benefits have been given to 2.5 lakh people every month. “We will leave no stone unturned to ensure that our youth get employment as per their qualifications,” he added.
Chouhan was addressing the state-level programme of Employment Day at Kushabhau Thackeray Auditorium on the occasion of birth anniversary of Swami Vivekananda, which is celebrated as National Youth Day.
Chouhan further said on Swami Vivekananda’s Jayanti, inspiration should be taken from Swamiji’s statement that – ‘No task is impossible if a man is determined and makes a path.’ Swami’s real name was Narendra, He had said that the coming century would belong to India. Today, under the leadership of another Narendra, India is becoming a glorious and proud natio.” CM said, process is going on in the state for filling backlog posts and for appointments to new posts.
