Bharatpur: The National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC), under the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship, today celebrated the successful conclusion of the Bharatpur Kaushal Mahotsav, where more than 2,400 youth were offered job placements by leading employers across multiple sectors.
The event, presided over by Jayant Chaudhary, Minister of State (Independent Charge) for the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship, saw him personally handing over job offer letters to successful candidates. This mega recruitment drive, which attracted overwhelming participation, was a significant milestone in empowering Bharatpur’s youth with meaningful career opportunities.
The Kaushal Mahotsav featured over 70 industry leaders, with major employers such as e-commerce giants Flipkart and Zepto, global food chain Burger King, and premium dining brand Barbeque Nation contributing to the success of the event. These companies, along with others, collectively offered over 20,000 job opportunities across a wide range of sectors, including e-commerce, hospitality, food processing, logistics, IT-ITES, and more.
The job offers came with competitive salary packages ranging from ₹19,000 to ₹35,000 per month, providing a substantial boost to local employment prospects. Minister Chaudhary highlighted the importance of community involvement in implementing effective skill development plans in Bharatpur, stressing the government’s ongoing efforts to attract industry-friendly policies and foster local economic growth.
Speaking at the event, Chaudhary said, “The companies here today are offering jobs in nearby areas, which is a significant opportunity for Bharatpur’s youth. Guided by our Prime Minister’s vision of ‘Lifelong Learning,’ we are focused on creating pathways for education and employment for all, irrespective of age or location.” He also underscored the role of platforms like Skill India Digital Hub (SIDH) and JobX in bridging skill gaps and providing training and certifications aligned with industry demands.
Over the past month, more than 3,500 youth from Bharatpur registered on SIDH and underwent a five-day intensive job-readiness programme. The programme included training on soft skills and role-specific capabilities such as assembly line operations and customer care. This culminated in the mega recruitment fair, which saw over 3,000 youth attending walk-in interviews.
The recruitment drive, which connected youth with employers from Rajasthan and neighboring regions, focused on positioning Bharatpur as a hub for skilled workforce development.
