Government aiming to create jobs for youth, says Bharath

Industries and Commerce Minister T.G. Bharath Gupta said that the primary objective of the alliance government was to create extensive employment opportunities for the youth.

The Minister said that there was the possibility of a semiconductor industry being established at Orvakal with an investment of approximately ₹23,000 crore. However, it will only be a reality if the necessary permissions and clearances under the ISM policy are secured. Such an industry would create direct and indirect employment opportunities for local youth, he said.

Mr. Bharath, along with Kurnool MP Bastipati Nagaraju, on Wednesday inaugurated a job fair held at St. Joseph’s Degree College in Kurnool. Speaking on the occasion, the Minister said that the government has initiated an action plan to create 20 lakh jobs in the State, fulfilling the promises made during the elections.
