Kerala has been pursuing a policy of ensuring more jobs in the public sector in divergence from the Union government's policy of cutting down on recruitments in the public sector, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has said.
He was inaugurating the Thozhil Sabha initiative on Tuesday, aimed at bringing together jobseekers, entrepreneurs, skill trainers, and job providers on a common platform.
The development standing committee of the local body would be the organiser of the Thozhil Sabha. Each such sabha would consist of an estimated 200-250 people, and would be formed for one or two wards. With the formation of Thozhil Sabhas, the local bodies would have accurate information on the number of jobseekers as well as job creators within their area. This would include people from the area who were running businesses outside Kerala or abroad, or were in key positions in various companies, based on whose requirements jobseekers with the necessary skills could be connected.
