The Haryana government has introduced the IT Saksham Yuva Scheme 2024 to boost youth empowerment and employment. The scheme aims to provide jobs to 5,000 youth in its first phase.
The scheme is part of the broader 'Mission 60,000' announced during the 2024-25 budget speech by former Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar and seeks to employ at least 60,000 young individuals from poor families.
Under this scheme, graduate and post-graduate applicants with IT backgrounds will undertake the Haryana IT Programme, a specially designed short-term course lasting a minimum of three months.
Upon completion, they will be deployed in various departments, boards, corporations, and other agencies within the state, or in private entities.
"This ambitious endeavour marks a pivotal step in fostering a skilled workforce and catalysing economic growth across the region, providing much-needed career readiness for the digital world of work," stated the official announcement.
The scheme not only aims to provide immediate employment opportunities but also to ensure long-term career development for the youth of Haryana by equipping them with essential IT skills.
REMUNERATION AND SUPPORT
Participants in the IT Saksham Yuva Scheme will receive a monthly remuneration of Rs 20,000 for the first six months. From the seventh month onwards, the monthly remuneration will increase to Rs 25,000, provided by the employing entities.
If an 'IT Saksham Yuva' is unable to secure deployment, the government will provide an unemployment allowance of Rs 10,000 per month.
TRAINING AGENCIES
The Haryana State Electronics Development Corporation Ltd (HARTRON), Haryana Knowledge Corporation Ltd (HKCL), and Shri Vishwakarma Skill University (SVSU) are designated as the primary training agencies for this scheme.
The government may notify additional agencies as needed. SVSU, being the state university, will issue completion certificates to the candidates based on the norms set by the Haryana Skill Development Mission (HSDM).
