Visakhapatnam: A mega ‘job mela’ organised in Gajuwaka in Visakhapatnam on Saturday drew nearly 100 companies, offering around 3,000 employment opportunities to local youth.
The job fair aimed to bring job seekers and employers onto a common platform and facilitate direct recruitment for candidates from Gajuwaka and surrounding areas.
Speaking at the event, TDP state president and Gajuwaka MLA Palla Srinivasa Rao said the response from both companies and job seekers had been encouraging.
“We are very happy to start the Job Mela at Gajuwaka. Nearly 100 companies have come here, and they are prepared to provide 3,000 employment opportunities,” Rao said.
He said a similar ‘job mela’ had been conducted in the area around six months ago and had received a good response from the youth.
“The main intention of this Job Mela is that while there are many job opportunities available, companies are not able to get the right person. Similarly, there are many right candidates in these areas, but they are not able to reach the right job providers,” Rao said.
He described the event as an important platform connecting employers with prospective employees and urged young people to make use of the opportunities available at the fair.
“We are very happy, and we thank the companies that have come over here. We also wish all the best to the youth who are seeking jobs,” he added.
AP State SC Cell president Vijay Kumar said the NDA government was working to create employment opportunities for youth within Andhra Pradesh and reduce the need for them to migrate to other states in search of jobs.
“Today in Gajuwaka, the NDA government is providing an opportunity for every youth seeking employment. Through the AP State Skill Development Corporation, the state government is offering job opportunities to local candidates in Gajuwaka,” Vijay Kumar said.
