Haryana to give monthly allowance of Rs.9,000 to unemployed youth

Unemployed postgraduate youth in Haryana will now get an allowance of Rs 9,000 every month, Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar announced here on Monday. 

A web portal has been launched for the purpose, under which postgraduate unemployed youth have to register to avail of the honorarium. This would be in lieu of 100 hours of work done by them. Presently, as many as 1,100 beneficiaries have already registered with the employment exchanges in the state. The government is expecting the number to rise up to 30,000 with the launch of the scheme. New registration for educated unemployed youth would commence from Tuesday.



 The priority to give them employment opportunities would depend on their age, the government said.

The new scheme would involve a financial implication of Rs 324 crore. “Although the government would employ such youth, the private sector would also be employing them under the scheme. The benefit of the scheme would be admissible to candidates of Haryana domicile, who have done postgraduation from any university in Haryana and neighbouring Delhi and Chandigarh,” the chief minister said, addressing mediapersons on the eve of Haryana Day and commencement of the state’s golden jubilee celebrations.
