Solution for Unemployment

One of the crucial problems that our state confronts with is unemployment among educated youths.  Agricultural as well as industrial sectors are the two prominent fields in which employment opportunities can be created. But, sorry to say, the number of people who turn up to invest in these fields and create employment opportunities are very less as compared to our  neighboring states like Karnataka, Tamilnadu or Andhra Pradesh. Central, State governments and other agencies promote and encourage these entrepreneurship. There is a training program by name EDP (Entrepreneurship Development Program). Department of Industry, NABARD, Small Scale Industries Service Institute etc. Conduct these types of training program for the youths. The enthusiastic youths of our state should come forward to make  use of these facilities to the maximum so that the problem of unemployment can be solved to a great extent. District Industries Centre can guide you properly to start a business whether it is small scale or large scale. Various training programs are conducted by the DIC’s under PMRY (Prime Ministers Rosgar Yojana). If you satisfy certain conditions, you can start a business very easily.
