GURGAON: Haryana chief minister Manohar Lal Khattar today launched ‘Sahyog Club’, where engineerin­g and polytechni­c colleges students of the state would be registered as its members and entrusted the task of developmen­t and cleanlines­s of village ponds.

While addressing the entreprene­urs of the state at the inaugurati­on of ‘I Tech’ (Industry Technical Excellence Changing Haryana) organised at a government polytechni­c, Manesar in Gurgaon district, he said that the students would visit the ponds and assist the concerned Ponds Developmen­t Authority in the state.

He urged the entreprene­urs to train the youth of the state as per their industrial requiremen­t so that they could avail maximum employment opportunit­ies, an official release said here.

The chief minister assured that the government would facilitate in-creation of more employment opportunit­ies for the youth and would make every effort to bridge the gap in providing skilled youth to the industry.

The state government has ini- tiated various schemes to enhance their skill including ‘Saksham Rozgar Yojna’ under which every unemployed youth are given 100 hours of work for three years, and honorarium of Rs 9,000 and Rs 7,500 is being given to them as per their qualificat­ions, he said.

The chief minister said that till now, 35,000 to 40,000 youths have benefitted from this scheme.

Khattar said that the state government accepts that there are around four to five lakh unemployed youths in the state and providing jobs to them is the biggest challenge for the government.
