The MD assured that the Government is keen to help the unemployed youth as per the policies and the youth should fully avail the benefits of the schemes.”They shouldn’t wait for only Government jobs as jobs are very limited,” he said, adding that by starting own units the youth can become not only job seekers but job providers also in the changing business environment.
He assured the participants that the department will provide hassle-free service to them but will be very firm in recovery of outstanding Government money.
Some of the participants who are beneficiaries of loan schemes demanded waiving of loan interest in view of COVID-19 pandemic and the MD said that it is a policy matter which needs consideration at Government level and not at directorate level.
