Approximately 600 participants attended the drive, comprising primarily unemployed youth, aspiring candidates seeking placements outside the state, and individuals exploring overseas employment prospects. The strong turnout reflects the growing demand for structured employment facilitation and enhanced career mobility in the district.
The recruitment drive forms part of a broader outreach initiative being organised across districts to widen employment access, strengthen job linkages, and create accessible platforms for youth engagement.
By decentralising employment services and taking such initiatives to district headquarters, the state government aims to ensure equitable access to opportunities and promote inclusive growth across Meghalaya.
