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, May 10: Former Karnataka Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy on Sunday accused the state government of not preparing proper guidelines to bring back people who are stranded near the Karnataka-Maharashtra border areas.

"No proper guidelines have been given to officials to bring back people who are stranded near the Karnataka-Maharashtra border. From the last 45 days, many of these people have not got any relief nor are there any proper directions or guidelines from the state government," alleged Kumaraswamy.

He also accused the state government of cheating the people of Karnataka.

"Karnataka government is cheating people the same way it cheated with the flood compensation. The state government had announced lakhs of rupees as compensation to those who lost houses in the flood last year. But nobody has got the records or details as to how many people got benefited from it," he added.
Fifty-three more COVID-19 cases were reported in Karnataka on Sunday, the state government said.

The total number of cases in the state is at 847, including 405 discharged and 31 deaths so far, the bulletin said.
