Udupi, Jan 31: “It is the responsibility of the system to provide jobs to the educated youth. However, the educated men and women also should try to get self-employed,” said Pramod Madhwaraj, Minister of State for Fisheries, Youth Empowerment and Sports.

He was speaking after inaugurating the Udyog Mela organised by the Department of Employment and Industrial Training and other organisations at the Dr. G. Shankar First Grade College and PG Centre, here.

Mr. Madhwaraj, who is also the Udupi district in-charge minister, said the Department of Employment should give first preference to Udupi district while providing employment opportunities. This was because the district was already in the forefront in the education sector in the State. Its educational institutions were generating a large number of graduates and postgraduates. These youth could become frustrated if they did not get jobs.

The youth, who passed from professional courses, were under far more pressure as they had taken educational loans to complete their courses.

These youth were being pressurised by their parents on one hand and by the banks on the other. Besides, mere possession of degrees would not fetch employment for the youth. They need to have soft skills. It was only when they had both that their chances of getting a job became bright, he said.

He said only 10% to 15% of youth got employment in the job melas. “The educated youth should try to become self-employed and generate jobs for others. Self-employment is an avenue some of the educated youth should explore. A lot of financial help is now being given to such ventures by the government,” Mr. Madhwaraj said.

Sridhar Bhat welcomed the gathering. Khalandar Khan, Employment Officer, delivered the introductory remarks. Bhaskar Shetty S., college principal, presided over the inaugural function. Ramaraya Acharya proposed a vote of thanks. Srikrishna Rao Kodancha, President of Udupi Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Jagadish, District Skill Development Officer, were present.

Bengaluru, Mar 24: Underlining the seriousness of the coronavirus, which is spreading like wildfire in Karnataka, renowned Heart Surgeon and founder of Narayana Hrudayalaya Dr Devi Shetty on Tuesday predicted that Karnataka alone will have more than 80,000 people affected with the dreaded killer disease COVID-19 if people fail to protect themselves.

He urged the people to cooperate with the Government in preventing its further spread and immediately treat those who are affected.

Dr Shetty, urging the people to remain indoors and not to venture out, said those who are affected should not come out and remain in isolation even in their houses and take all precautions advised by doctors.

He said if 80,000 people in the state were affected, more than 20,000 need to be admitted to Hospital for treatment.

"More than 2000 affected need to be kept under ventilation and it requires more infrastructure in the hospitals," he said.
