Literate Youth Encouraged to Create Jobs, Says Prof. Umesh

Kollegal, February 28, 2019: Prof. Umesh, Principal of JSS Women’s College, Kollegal, emphasized the importance of self-dependence and entrepreneurship among the literate youth during the inauguration of the ‘Entrepreneurship Training Camp.’ The event was organized by the Commerce Club in collaboration with JSS Rudseti, Chamarajanagar District Industrial Center, JSS Mahavidyapeetha, and the State Bank of India.

In his address to the students, Prof. Umesh urged them to explore opportunities in self-employment and business ventures instead of solely relying on traditional job prospects. He highlighted that while job opportunities are abundant in the country, there is a lack of eligible graduates who possess the necessary skills to fill these positions. Prof. Umesh encouraged the youth to take advantage of workshops and training camps, as skill development plays a crucial role in becoming successful entrepreneurs.

Presiding over the program, M.N. Murulesh, Joint Director of the District Industrial Center, Chamarajanagar, provided comprehensive information on obtaining loan facilities under the Prime Minister’s Employment Generation Programme (P.M.E.P.).

Sri Venkatesh Y.K., Assistant Director of Chamarajanagar District Industries Center, shed light on the loan facilities offered by banks and financial institutions for establishing business units and industries. He emphasized that individuals from general categories are required to invest 10 percent of the total project cost, while the investment percentage is 5 percent for SC/ST, minorities, differently-abled individuals, and other backward castes. Additionally, the government provides a 25 percent subsidy.

The event witnessed the presence of notable personalities, including Smt. Susheela, Assistant Manager of K.S.F.C., Chamarajanagara, Sri Kishore, Center Manager, Sri Keshavamohan, Chief Manager of SBI Kollegal, B.M. Chandrashekar, Project Officer of Rudset Institute, K.
