The Government of Haryana has launched the IT Saksham Yuva Scheme 2024, which is aimed at empowering the youth and making them employable. This scheme is in line with the Mission 60,000 that aims to provide jobs to a minimum of 60,000 underprivileged youngsters.
In the first phase, the IT Saksham Yuva Scheme 2024 will provide jobs to 5,000 youngsters. Graduates as well as post-graduates with IT backgrounds will undergo a three-month training programme called the Haryana IT Programme. On completion of this specially-designed course, participants will be be given jobs across state departments, boards, corporations, or private organisations.
The programme will ultimately result in the creation of a skilled workforce, which will lead to the economic growth of the region. It will equip youngsters to be comfortable in the digital world.
A stipend of Rs 20,000 per month will be given to the Monthly Remuneration and Unemployment Allowance Participants for the first six months. Their monthly pay will be hiked to Rs 25,000 starting from the seventh month of placement.
Those who are not deployed will be given a monthly unemployment allowance of Rs 10,000 per month.
The Haryana government will bear the responsibility of ensuring job opportunities for these trained youth. The objective is to place all the participants who have completed the training programme.
The training will be provided by various agencies, including the Haryana State Electronics Development Corporation (HARTRON), Haryana Knowledge Corporation (HKCL) and Shri Vishwakarma Skill University (SVSU), as per the rules established by the Haryana Skill Development Mission (HSDM).
