In a significant move to support unemployed youth, the Haryana government announced a new welfare scheme during the opening day of the state assembly session. The announcement, made through Governor Bandaru Dattatreya's address, promises financial assistance to candidates who have successfully cleared the Common Eligibility Test (CET).
Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini's government has introduced a comprehensive support package that will provide a monthly honorarium of Rs. 9,000 to CET-qualified candidates who do not secure employment within one year of passing the examination. This financial assistance will continue for up to two years, offering crucial support during their job search period.
"This initiative reflects our government's commitment to supporting the youth of Haryana during their journey toward employment," stated Governor Dattatreya during his address to the assembly. The scheme is expected to benefit thousands of educated youth across the state who are actively seeking employment opportunities.
Key Features of the Scheme:
- Monthly honorarium of Rs. 9,000
- Eligibility begins one year after passing CET
- Support continues for up to two years
- Aims to help meet basic needs during job search
- Applicable to all CET-qualified candidates
The announcement has been welcomed by youth organizations and student bodies across the state. This measure comes as part of the government's broader initiative to address unemployment concerns and provide support to qualified candidates during their transition to employment.
The scheme's implementation details and application process are expected to be announced in the coming weeks. Officials have indicated that the program will be designed to ensure seamless delivery of benefits to eligible candidates.
