Punjab to benefit from 13,000 new jobs
Small and medium-sized businesses in an Indian state will create 13,000 jobs under a new government scheme.
The Employment Generation Programme will provide the Punjab labor market with 13,000 jobs by encouraging existing businesses to expand and entrepreneurs to set up new companies.
Specifically, the initiative will aim to support the employment of the state's young and female unemployed; two demographics usually worst affected in difficult economic periods.
Speaking at a state-level workshop and orientation program, Dr N S Tomar, state director of Khadi and Village Industries Commission, explained that more than 1,340 enterprises will benefit from the scheme.
He said: "The implementing agencies and bankers should give priority to the scheme as it intends to support new ventures of youth. It will also help in the upliftment of women."
Earlier this month, minister of state for finance Namo Narain Meena revealed that the Indian economy gained more than 500,000 jobs in the July to September period of 2009.
Infy’s Orissa project to create 5000 jobs
IT major Infosys would soon set up its second project in Orissa at an investment of Rs 300 crore, official sources said.
Infosys's plan for the state was announced by its director (human resource) TV Mohandas Pai after meeting the chief minister Naveen Patnaik here last evening.
While as many as 3,000 IT professionals were now busy working at the first Infosys project in the state, he said about 5,000 workers would get placement in its second project.
The second project would come up at IT valley on the side of the National Highway No-5 between the state capital and Khurda town.
Work on the second project would start soon, Pai said. The state government had agreed to provide required water and power to the second project.
The IT major was presently exporting software products worth Rs 850 crore per annum from its existing project in the state, he said.
Pai and Patnaik also discussed on mid-day-meal (MDM) project of Akshya Patra, presently being given to 61,000 students in Puri and Nayagarh district. The number of beneficiaries of the MDM programme was targetted to touch 2.5 lakh in next two years, they said.
