Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan announced a new initiative aimed at improving youth employment in the state. The plan focuses on delivering targeted skill‑training courses that match the requirements of emerging industries and local businesses.
In addition to training, the government will host a series of job fairs across major districts, providing a platform for employers to meet qualified candidates directly. Officials said the fairs will feature both private sector firms and public‑sector recruiters.
The CM emphasized that bridging the gap between education and work is essential for the state's economic growth. He urged young people to participate actively in the programmes and take advantage of the networking opportunities offered by the fairs.
State authorities will coordinate with vocational institutes and industry bodies to design curricula that reflect current market demands. The rollout is expected to begin in the coming weeks, with the first job fair slated for the capital, Bhopal.
Stakeholders expressed optimism that the combined approach of skill development and direct employer engagement will reduce unemployment among the state's youth and stimulate broader economic activity.
