Despite the job and unemployment crisis due to the coronavirus pandemic, a total of 33,799 unemployed people have got employment in the month of January and February this year, said Nawab Malik, Minister of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship.

In May last year, the Department of Skill Development, Employment and Entrepreneurship had launched a web portal https://rojgar.mahaswayam.gov.in to connect unemployed candidates and entrepreneurs. The website was developed for getting employment opportunities and entrepreneurship available at companies and industrial units in the state.
Unemployed candidates register on this web portal with information about their education, skills, experience etc.
