First-generation graduates will get priority in govt jobs: CM M K Stalin

CHENNAI: Chief minister M K Stalin on Saturday said the state government would give priority to first-generation graduates in jobs in the government sector and instructed authorities to develop training modules and courses in government training centres for youngsters to excel in competitive examinations.

Chairing a review meeting of officials in finance and human resources department at the secretariat, he instructed officials to take measures to help youngsters from the state clear competitive exams. To achieve it, right training programmes should be designed, he said.

Meanwhile, authorities should create awareness among youngsters about employment opportunities available in Union and state governments, he said. He stressed the need for special training for government employees to enhance the quality of service rendered to the public. For this, quality of training should improve at Anna Institute of Management and other government institutions. He asked senior bureaucrats to utilise existing facilities at the civil service training institute at Bhavanisagar to conduct online training for government employees to enhance their abilities.
