Chandigarh, August 25: Haryana has become the first state in the country where a platform is being provided to help prepare 50,000 talented youth of the state simultaneously for government jobs. The State Government has prepared a special scheme to ensure that the youth of the state not only get government jobs within the state but in other states also. Apart from Railway, Bank, Staff Selection Commission, Defense etc., the State Government also has a plan to prepare youth for technical examinations like Group-C, Group-D, Group-A, Group-B and ‘GATE’.
This was disclosed by Deputy Chief Minister, Mr. Dushyant Chautala, while addressing a press conference here today.
On this occasion, a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) has been signed between the Haryana Employment Department and M3M Foundation and Gradeup in the presence of Mr. Dushyant Chautala to realize this dream of the youth of the state.
Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Mr. Anoop Dhanak, Additional Chief Secretary, Employment Department, Mr. T.C Gupta, Dr. Payal Kanodia, a representative of M3M Foundation, and representatives of Gradeup namely Aishwarya and Pankaj and senior officers of Employment Department were also present during the signing of MoU.
Mr. Dushyant Chautala said that this MoU will prove to be a milestone in preparing the talented youth of the state for government jobs. Under this, in the first phase, 50,000 meritorious candidates will be given coaching for Group-C and Group-D jobs through online programmes. 70 percent of these candidates will be youth from rural areas and 30 percent from urban areas.
He said that through this new platform, online coaching will be imparted to those youth who have appeared in various competitive examinations conducted by Haryana Staff Selection Commission but could not qualify the examination by a thin margin. He said that the progress of their preparation will be reviewed every week and every month and out of these top 1,000 youth would be given live coaching for Group-A and Group-B jobs.
The Deputy Chief Minister said that M3M Foundation has prepared a ‘Grade Stack Learning Private Limited (Gradeup)’ platform to provide online coaching. It will also provide a web-link to the employment department to register the candidates.
He said that in the first batch, 50,000 candidates will be provided video lectures, quizzes, mock tests, previous question papers and other course material for 18 months. A candidate can select 3 courses or examinations such as Banking and Insurance, SSC and Railways, CDS and Defense etc. to access the material. A dashboard will be made available to the Employment Department to show the performance of the candidates in the Gradeup Monthly Mock Examination. Mock tests of the candidates will be conducted through the study of dashboard and weekly data, in which the candidates who perform well will be differentiated from the low performing batches.
Mr. Dushyant Chautala said that at present Haryana’s participation in Central Government jobs is only 2 percent, which is targeted to be taken up to 7-8 percent. He said that under this MoU, the youth of the state will be imparted coaching so that they can perform better and get government as well as private jobs in neighbouring states including Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Delhi and Rajasthan.
