Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan said on Saturday that local youth will be given priority in government jobs across the state.
He also said that his government is preparing a ‘single citizen database’ for the citizens of the state so that the people of the state do not have to register separately for each scheme.
Addressing the ceremony after hoisting the flag at Motilal Nehru Stadium here on the occasion of the 74th Independence Day of the country, the Chief Minister said, “Youth of Madhya Pradesh will be given priority in government jobs.” He said, “At a time when there is a lack of job opportunities, it is our duty to worry about the youth of the state.”
Chief Minister Chouhan said, “A campaign will be launched for government recruitment, as well as more and more jobs will be provided in private sectors. Students will be employed on the basis of 10th and 12th marks list.”
The Chief Minister said that the State Government is working for the skill development of the youth.
Chauhan said that 15 lakh migrant labourers of Madhya Pradesh have returned to the state during the lockdown. In order to provide employment to the migrant laborers near their place of residence, job cards of more than 14 lakh workers were surveyed from house to house. So far, more than Rs 2,400 crore has been transferred to the labor accounts as wages.
