LUCKNOW:

Sharing details after the Cabinet meeting, Finance and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Suresh Khanna said that 30 proposals were cleared, the most ambitious being the Rozgar Mission. Labour Minister Anil Rajbhar explained that the new initiative would allow the state to acquire its own Recruiting Agent (RA) license, thereby enabling the direct placement of skilled youth in international jobs.

Until now, job seekers from the state relied on private recruiting agents for overseas employment.
