BHOPAL: In a meeting of Rozgar Nirman Board, headed by the chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, it was decided that state government would fetch jobs in the private sector to five lakh persons before the assembly elections due in end-2018. It was also decided that ‘Rozgar Samvad’ will be conducted across the state to generate employment in the private sector.
The country may witness an economic slowdown, post-demonetisation. Due to cash crunch, many persons working in the unorganised sectors have lost their jobs. There is limit on employment generation in the government sector.
