Bengaluru, January 20: In a bid to help unemployed youth find jobs, the Karnataka Government has formed a panel headed by Medical Education, Skill Development, Livelihood and Raichur district in-charge Minister Dr. Sharan Prakash Patil to organise mega job fairs at the district and state level.

The government’s move comes after the successful launch of Yuva Nidhi scheme, one of the five poll guarantees on January 12 in Shivamogga. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has formed the job fair committee under the chairmanship of Minister Dr. Sharan Prakash Patil under whose leadership the Yuva Nidhi scheme was launched in a mega event.

This committee will organise job fairs at state and district level in coordination with the major, small scale industries and software companies. The government aims to make unemployed youth find jobs and become self-reliant by organising job fairs across the state.

The panel is planning to organise huge job fairs across the state in the coming days and taking steps to give preference to Kannadigas in the job mela. Minister Dr.Patil has already held discussions with the officials of the concerned departments and other stakeholders on filling the vacant posts in the government sector and creating jobs in the private sector.
