Moodbidri, 26 Jun 2017: The state minister for fisheries, sports and youth affairs Pramod Madwaraj said the present competitive era made the recruiters give preferences to candidates who possess skills and efficiency in their chosen role, rather than just qualification. So it is inevitable to develop required skills to get absorbed in job market.

 

He was speaking after inaugurating the 9th edition of mass placement drive ‘Alva’s Pragati-2017’ organized by Alva’s Education Foundation, at V S Acharya Auditorium, Vidyagiri, here,  on Saturday.

 

 

‘It is only the competency and versatility of candidates matters in the time interview. The hiring company doesn’t mind in paying any amount for potential employee’ he added. Commenting on the process of interview where English is made compulsory to communicate, minister said, it is unfair and unfortunate for rural candidates to judge their capability on the basis of English communication. Skill development ministry of Karnataka which is handled by CM Siddaramaiaha is focusing more on harmonizing the skill development activities in the country. Madwaraj added said, ‘India has 70 percent of youth population and young people are full of energy and courage. These can be very well used in constructive and developmental activities.’ In view of the growing unemployment, the minister said, one has to seek an alternative to earn a livelihood and self-employment is the best alternative, he advised.

 

Chief guest of the programme, Binay R Shetty, CEO and vice president NMC Healthcare, Abu Dhabi said,  ‘Workout for a life plan and proceed in the same path which leads to success.’

 

Presiding r the program, Mulky – Moodubidri MLA Abhaychandra Jain said, ‘The job competency can be developed through participating in these kinds of job fairs.’  He added, this is an ingenious way to meet the needs of both employers and potential employees.

 

The main block was dedicated for openings for degree, post-graduate and engineering degree holders, whereas degree block was for ITI, Diploma, PUC and SSLC candidates.

 

Clarity wall, Employability Enhancement Center and Digital display added to the clarity on the companies’ recruitment processes.

 

Alva’s Education Foundation chairman Dr M Mohan Alva, MLC Capt Ganesh Karnik, former minister and Alva’s Education Foundation Trustee Amarnath Shetty and Jayashri Amarnath Shetty were present among others.
