The CM said under the scheme, 49,995 eligible youths registered and 43,246 applicatio­ns were accepted while 31,389 have been adjusted in different department­s, boards and corporatio­ns on honorarium basis.

He said the shortliste­d candidates would be given 100-day work in a year and they will also be given training under the skill developmen­t proramme to make them eligible for employment in private sector jobs and other profession­s.

The Vishwakarm­a Skill Developmen­t University has been establishe­d in Palwal district which is first-of-its-kind in the country and would award degrees up to PhD level, the chief minister said.

He said in the last three years, 13,000 government jobs have been given on merit basis, adding that recruitmen­t for 50,000 others were underway and the interview system for the Group ‘C’ and ‘D’ posts has been done away with.
