Chandigarh, August 8 – The Haryana Government has taken another major step towards providing more employment opportunities for youth at both global and domestic levels. The 11th meeting of the Board of Directors of the Haryana Kaushal Rozgar Nigam Limited (HKRNL) was held today under the chairmanship of Chief Secretary Sh. Anurag Rastogi, in which proposals to implement a training-based foreign employment model and the Employment Linked Incentive (ELI) scheme in the state were approved.
The meeting discussed in detail the possibilities of a training-based employment model in collaboration with international recruitment agencies in various countries. Chief Secretary Sh. Anurag Rastogi said these initiatives will open new doors for global careers for the state’s youth and will also prove to be a milestone in providing institutional support to industrial needs.
It was also decided in the meeting that under the Haryana Youth Employment and EPF Reimbursement (HYEER) Scheme, youth registered with the HKRNL and employed in the private sector, along with their employers, will receive 12 percent EPF contribution from the government/corporation for one year.
This step by the state government will not only increase employment opportunities for the youth but will also give new momentum to better talent utilization in the private sector and to industrial development.
