CHENNAI: Three years in the past, M Mohanraj was once on cloud 9 when he joined the degree path in mechanical engineering at the Central Polytechnic College in Chennai. Apparently, the happiness was once quickly overtaken by means of anxiety. He has seen many go back to their villages and work as daily labourers even after completing upper research in the town. As many of these scholars come from backward class communities with poor monetary backgrounds, it becomes very important for them to secure jobs to their family’s monetary standing.
Coming from a poor family in Tiruvannamalai, Mohanraj sought after to secure a task and care for his oldsters. But he was once clueless about the way to pass forward when a task fair was once carried out at the Government College Boy’s hostel in Saidapet not too long ago. Organised by means of the Chennai bankruptcy of the dept of backward categories and minorities welfare in affiliation with the district employment office, the fair was once aimed toward providing employment to the backward and most backward class scholars staying at the 14 govt hostels in Chennai.
Mohanraj were given decided on and he were given a placement in an instant. At least 250 scholars some of the 1200 hostel inmates attended the fair, and 95 were given decided on. More than 20 companies interviewed the students at the fair, which was once the primary of its kind in Tamil Nadu. The selection was once based on the monetary background of the students.
“This is the primary time we're setting up a task fair for backward class (BC) and most backward class (MBC) final year scholars. Even regardless that many complete their commencement and post-graduation, they finally end up as daily wage-earners because of their poor monetary backgrounds. It was once to find a approach to the unemployment of the graduates in the rural pockets of TN that we organised the task fair,” mentioned P Vijaya Raghavan, district backward categories and minority welfare officer, who's the mind behind the initiative.
There are greater than 1200 (420 women) BC and MBC scholars stay at the 14 hostels in Chennai. Vijaya Raghavan literally walked into each hostel and spoke to the students about the fair. “It took greater than a couple of months to cover the entire hostels. We carried out interplay programmes for college students. This helped, and lots of passed the interview in the task fair,” he mentioned.
“The bio-data of the applicants shall be uploaded in the portal referred to as National Career Services to facilitate them to get employment opportunities and the file of the selected applicants shall be tracked for three months. The appointment orders for the selected applicants had been issued at the spot. Many scholars welcomed this golden opportunity and had a good time at securing jobs which can lend a hand them support and lift their family’s monetary standing.
“We had just one condition. The minimal wage will have to be mounted to Rs 10000 and each one will have to be taken completely after six months of probation,” mentioned . Vijaya Raghavan.
Even regardless that the debut task fair carried out by means of the Chennai bankruptcy of the dept of backward categories and minorities welfare was once an ideal luck, some participants in the fair mentioned they didn’t get the post they deserved. “I'm a degree holder in mechanical engineering, but I were given the task of a business govt. I'm taking this be offering, but this is not the task I used to be looking for,” mentioned Ram Subhash S. However, the dept is planning to write down to the state govt to habits such task fairs in in different districts as neatly.
