Bhubaneswar: Around 9 lakh youths, aspiring for state government jobs, have registered in different employment exchanges in Odisha.

This was stated by Rural Development, Skill Development & Technical Education Minister Pritiranjan Ghadei in the Assembly on Tuesday.

Replying to a question from BJP’s Loisingha MLA Mukesh Mahaling, the minister said Live Registers in the Employment Exchanges have 8,98,717 registered youths who await government jobs as on February 28.

On the MLA’s question about the number of registered youths, whose names have been removed from the employment exchanges, Ghadei said not a single name has been struck off from the register in the last 20 years even after the job aspirants exceeded the upper age limit.

However, he clarified that the names of 25,74,663 candidates were deleted from the Live Register between 2010 and February 28, 2023 as they could not renew their registrations.

The minister further said the government has launched a placement-linked training programme (PLTP) in 2011-12. Under the programme, the Odisha Skill Development Authority (OSDA) imparts training to unemployed men and women on various trades to improve their employment chances.
