Along with offering government jobs, the government has also implemented various schemes to help youth set up their businesses, Saini said, while speaking at the Golden Jubilee celebration function at the Indira Gandhi National (IGN) College, Ladwa, Kurukshetra.
He said that IGN College was established in 1974 to provide education to rural children and over its 50-year journey, the institution has played a crucial role in shaping thousands of students into skilled and responsible citizens.
Colleges like IGN play a vital role in achieving the vision of developed Haryana. Educational institutions are the backbone of the state’s and country’s progress, the CM said.
Saini said to promote higher education, the state government has opened 79 government colleges, 32 of which are exclusively for girls. Now, there is a government college within a 20-kilometre radius across the state. Besides this, 13 new universities have also been established in the state, he said.
The chief minister said that 1.71 lakh youth have been provided government jobs on the basis of merit without any ‘Parchi-Kharchi’ (favouritism or bribe) and the government will provide 2 lakh more jobs in the next five years.
There is a lot of enthusiasm among the youth regarding the schemes being run by the government in their interest and the recruitments being done on the basis of ‘Mission Merit’, he said.
