Punjab Newsline, Chandigarh, February 27-
Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal said that the provisions made for reservation for Scheduled Castes and Backward Classes are being adhered to in the engagement process of the manpower deployed by Haryana Kaushal Rozgar Nigam. Currently, there are 15.64 percent manpower against the 16 percent reservation for BC-A and 11.4 percent against the 11 percent reservation for BC-B. Additionally, there are 20.63 percent employees belonging to the Scheduled Caste.
The Chief Minister shared this information while responding during the question hour in the ongoing budget session of the state vidhan sabha here today.
Manohar Lal said that there are no permanent appointment made under HKRNL, engagements are made on a temporary basis for a specific period. The number of persons deployed under this does not have a fixed number to calculate reservations. Employees are appointed according to the department's requirements. However, the government is ensuring the reserved quotas for Scheduled Castes and Backward Classes, i.e. 20 to 27 percent respectively. He said that if the reservation is not fulfilled in the first recruitment, it is completed in the next one.
The Chief Minister said that the HKRNL is also used to provide employment opportunities for the youth in the private sector. The data of registered youth is shared with registered industries according to their demand, and industries then employ youth based on their requirements, he informed.
Manohar Lal further stated that the department sends the demand on the Nigam's portal, and based on the allocated points according to specified criteria, candidates are selected, and the list is sent to departments. However, sometimes departments change their demand, and selected youth are unable to join the relevant department. Now, the government is integrating the Nigam’s portal with the HRMS. If a department wants to change the demand for its employees, they can do so before the candidates are selected. Once the selection is done, the department is obligated to make them join, shared Sh. Manohar Lal.
He said that for the purpose of providing employment opportunities abroad, with the assistance of the Foreign Cooperation Department, youth are registered through the HKRNL. Applications have been submitted for job opportunities in Israel as well.
He informed that out of 8169 applicants, 1909 applicants have been provided with skill training, and 219 have been selected. The verification process for their passports is underway, and after that, they will go to Israel. These initiatives are undertaken in collaboration with the Israel government and the National Skill Development Mission, said the Chief Minister.
He stated that these youth will be provided employment in Israel with a salary of more than Rs. 1 lakh. Insurance has also been arranged for these youth, said the Chief Minister.
