HYDERABAD: In a bid to realise the ambitious target of providing one lakh jobs in one year under the Rajiv Yuva Kiranalu progamme, the state government’s Mission for Elimination of Poverty in Municipal Areas on Saturday signed MoUs (Memorandum of Understandings) with nine training and placement centres. The centres not only train the youth, but it has been mandatory that they should also provide them jobs.There are already 20 partners, including CMC, NIIT and IIHM in the programme and the latest to join the list are: SETWIN, APITCO, APEC, Dhatri Foundation, Tally, RRDS, SHARD, ATDC and the Andhra Mahila Sabha.MEPMA project director and representatives of the training centres exchanged MoUs in the presence of minister for municipal administration and urban development M Maheedhar Reddy at a programme held in the Secretariat.Maheedhar Reddy said the government has made it mandatory for the training partners to provide placement for the trained candidates. Similar initiatives earlier did not result in 100 percent placement of trained youth. In order to correct this anomaly, the government has designed the Rajiv Yuva Kiranalu (RYK) which guarantees cent percent placement.A portal launched by chief minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy on October 10 for the Rajiv Yuva Kiranalu programme has already seen registrations by 1.06 lakh unemployed youth of slum areas to get training and employment.RYK vice-chairman KC Reddy said the government has aimed to provide one lakh jobs in private sector under the scheme by end of this year and another 15 lakh jobs in the next three years.The government was planning to have linkages with open universities to further educate the trainees. Multi-skill development centres would also be set up in districts, he added.Principal secretary to municipal administration and urban development Sam Bob, MEPMA project director M Bhupal Reddy, Commissioner of training and employment Vasudha Mishra, GHMC special commissioner Naveen Mittal and other senior officials were present.
