The state government is set to launch a major training and placement programme targeting jobless youngsters from scheduled caste (SC) and scheduled tribe (ST) communities.

- JOSE K JOSEPH @T'Puram

The initiative aims to provide jobs to around 50,000 youths this year through the Kerala Institute of Local Administration (KILA), with a special focus on those holding technical qualifications.

According to senior officials, 2,398 community promoters -- 1,216 SC promoters and 1,182 ST promoters -- working with local bodies across the state will be enlisted to implement the programme. These promoters were recently given a month-long training regarding the selection process through KILA. Their primary task will be to identify unemployed youngsters with technical education backgrounds.

"We will then provide them with the necessary training to ensure job placements," an official associated with the programme told TNIE.
